What are Urine Test Strips?
Urine Test Strips are medical diagnostic tools used to provide a qualitative analysis of the composition of urine. Each dipstick is produced to test from one to a combination of up to 14 markers, including leukocytes, nitrite, urobilinogen, protein, pH, hemoglobin, specific gravity, ketone, bilirubin, and glucose.
Regular urinalysis is a basic tool for the screening and diagnosis of many conditions, including diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and proteinuria.
The urine dipsticks are based on chromatic immunoassay testing. Each test strip contains reagents that will produce a visible change which can be compared with a chromatic scale.
AdvaCare Pharma manufactures Urine Test Strips in ISO and CE-certified facilities located in strategic positions across the world. Each facility undergoes routine inspections to ensure adherence to international standards and regulatory compliance.
Product Specifications
Specimen
Urine specimens can be collected at any time of the day using a clean and dry container. A clean and dry container helps maintain the integrity of the specimen, which helps to ensure accurate test results. There is no specific requirement for the timing of urine sample collection, allowing for flexibility in the testing process.
Reagent
URS-1G (GLU): This urine dipstick is designed to detect glucose in a urine sample, which can assist in monitoring blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes or other metabolic disorders. By analyzing the concentration of glucose in the urine, the dipstick provides insights into glycemic control and provide better diabetes management.
URS-1K (KET): This urine dipstick is designed to detect ketones in a urine sample. Ketones are byproducts of fat metabolism which can accumulate if the body is using fat for energy instead of glucose. The presence of ketones in a urine specimen can indicate conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis or starvation.

Uses
What are Urine Test Strips used for?
Urine Test Strips are used in the medical field for assessing and analyzing the composition of urine. They facilitate the detection of various biochemical markers present in urine, including glucose, protein, pH, blood, ketones, leukocytes, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrites, and specific gravity.
Urinalysis using these strips is instrumental in diagnosing a wide range of conditions such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and liver disorders. The comprehensive information provided by urine test strips enables healthcare staff to make informed decisions regarding patient care and treatment strategies.
How should Urine Test Strips be used?
To use the Urine Test Strips, the following steps should be followed:
- Begin by collecting a urine sample from the patient using a clean and dry container, practicing good hygiene to avoid contamination.
- Submerge the reactive end of the test strip into the urine sample, allowing it to absorb the urine for the specified duration indicated in the kit's instructions.
- After the designated time has elapsed, remove the strip from the urine and gently shake off any excess liquid.
- Observe the color changes that occur on the reactive pads of the strip, which indicate the presence or absence of various biochemical markers.
- Compare the observed color changes with the reference chart included with the test kit to interpret the results accurately.
- Document the findings and consider them in conjunction with the patient's medical history and clinical context to derive meaningful insights and guide further diagnostic or treatment decisions.
What is the best method for disposing of Urine Test Strips?
Correct disposal of Urine Test Strips is paramount in preserving hygiene standards and preventing potential hazards associated with medical waste. The recommended method for disposing of used urine test strips is to tightly seal them in a designated biohazard waste bag or container.
These containers should be clearly labeled and disposed of according to local medical waste disposal regulations and guidelines. When they follow disposal procedures, healthcare centers can minimize the risk of cross-contamination and encourage the safe handling and disposal of potentially infectious materials. Adherence to waste management protocols helps safeguard the environment and promotes overall public health and safety.

Urinalysis (Urine) Test Strips, Interpretation of Results
The Mayo Clinic provides comprehensive information on interpreting results from urine test strips used in urinalysis. This test is crucial for detecting and managing various disorders like urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and diabetes. A urinalysis involves examining the appearance, concentration, and content of urine to identify health issues. For instance, cloudy urine can indicate a urinary tract infection, while increased protein levels may signal kidney disease. The interpretation involves checking color changes on the test strip squares after dipping it in the urine sample. The reference guide on the plastic bottle container simplifies result interpretation, enabling quick clinical decisions based on the presence or absence of specific color changes on the strip.
