Urine reagent strips use a color-changing reagent pad. Dip a strip into fresh urine, then compare the pad color to the included color chart to interpret the result.
Most urine reagent strips are single-use, 'dip-and-read' strips—one test per strip. Always follow the enclosed directions for each use.
Yes. Some urine reagent strips include reagent pads for both glucose and ketones so a single strip can indicate both results when you compare the pad colors to the included color chart.
These strips commonly detect glucose, ketones, and protein. Some products combine glucose and ketone pads on a single strip.
Timing varies by product: several listings indicate about 60 seconds, while ketone-specific instructions note about 15 seconds. Always follow the timing shown in your strip's instructions.
Common package sizes include bottles or packs of 50 and 100 strips. Some listings also show a one-count (single) package. Check the product listing or label to confirm the exact quantity before buying.
