Diastix® Reagent Test Strips for Urinalysis

Diastix Reagent strips for urinalysis provides a fast, convenient way of testing urine for the presence of glucose. The reagent strip is a firm plastic strip with a test area made of special chemicals that interact with the components in the urine. When dipped in urine, this test area changes color according to the amount of glucose in the urine. Collect the fresh urine specimen in a clean, dry container. Remove one strip from bottle and replace cap. Dip test area of strip in urine and remove immediately. Alternatively, you can wet the test area by passing strip through the urine stream. Tap the edge of the strip against the container of clean, dry surface to remove excess urine. Then compare the test area to the color chart exactly ten seconds after wetting. Ignore color changes that occur after ten seconds.
