100 Strips for Comprehensive Health Monitoring
Take control of your health with our URS-11 Reagent Strips for Urinalysis. Designed to provide a fast, reliable, and comprehensive analysis of urine, these reagent strips measure 11 essential health indicators. With Anti-VC Interference Ability, these strips deliver accurate results even in the presence of high Vitamin C (ascorbate) levels, ensuring more precise testing.
Why Test Urine Regularly?
Regular urine testing is an essential tool for early detection of potential health issues such as infections, liver conditions, diabetes, and kidney disorders. By monitoring these critical health markers, you can detect problems before they become serious, enabling early intervention and better overall health management.
Key Features:
- 100 Test Strips: Perfect for long-term health monitoring for personal and professional use.
- 11 Key Health Indicators: Each strip tests for leukocytes, nitrite, urobilinogen, protein, pH, blood, specific gravity, ascorbate (Vitamin C), ketone, bilirubin, and glucose.
- Anti-VC Interference: Prevents false readings caused by high levels of Vitamin C (ascorbate) in the urine, offering more reliable results.
- Easy to Use: Simple dip-and-read method that provides fast, easy-to-read results in just minutes.
How to Use:
- Collect a urine sample in a clean container.
- Dip the strip into the urine for a few seconds, ensuring all test pads are submerged.
- Remove and hold the strip horizontally to prevent mixing of reagents between pads.
- Wait for color changes according to the instructions (typically 30-60 seconds).
- Compare the strip to the color chart provided to interpret your results.
Comprehensive Testing for Optimal Health Monitoring:
Each URS-11 Reagent Strip tests for a range of important health markers:
1. Leukocytes:
- Why Test?: Indicates the presence of white blood cells, which may suggest a urinary tract infection (UTI).
- Why It’s Good to Know: Early detection of infections can prevent complications and discomfort.
2. Nitrite:
- Why Test?: Nitrites in urine can signal a bacterial infection in the urinary tract.
- Why It’s Good to Know: Detecting nitrites helps identify UTIs for prompt treatment.
3. Urobilinogen:
- Why Test?: Elevated levels may indicate liver dysfunction or hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown).
- Why It’s Good to Know: Monitoring urobilinogen levels can help catch liver conditions early.
4. Protein:
- Why Test?: Protein in the urine (proteinuria) can be an early sign of kidney disease or preeclampsia in pregnancy.
- Why It’s Good to Know: Regular testing allows for early detection of kidney damage or high blood pressure in pregnancy.
5. pH:
- Why Test?: Urine pH indicates the acidity or alkalinity of urine.
- Why It’s Good to Know: Monitoring pH helps identify imbalances leading to kidney stones or infections.
6. Blood:
- Why Test?: Blood in urine (hematuria) can indicate infections, kidney disease, or bladder issues.
- Why It’s Good to Know: Early detection can help address potential kidney stones, UTIs, or more severe conditions like bladder cancer.
7. Specific Gravity:
- Why Test?: Measures urine concentration to detect dehydration or kidney function issues.
- Why It’s Good to Know: Monitoring this can prevent dehydration or identify early kidney issues.
8. Ascorbate (Vitamin C):
- Why Test?: High levels of ascorbate can interfere with the accuracy of some test results.
- Why It’s Good to Know: The Anti-VC Interference ensures you get accurate readings even if you’re taking Vitamin C supplements.
9. Ketone:
- Why Test?: Ketones in urine are a byproduct of fat metabolism and may indicate uncontrolled diabetes or ketosis.
- Why It’s Good to Know: It helps monitor conditions like diabetes or the effectiveness of ketogenic diets.
10. Bilirubin:
- Why Test?: Bilirubin in urine can indicate liver disease or bile duct obstruction.
- Why It’s Good to Know: Early detection allows for timely treatment of liver disorders.
11. Glucose:
- Why Test?: Glucose in urine may indicate high blood sugar levels, often associated with diabetes.
- Why It’s Good to Know: Early glucose detection can help manage or prevent diabetes complications.
