Ketostix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis 50 Strips

Ketostix is a product that is used for ketone detection. It detects ketones from your urine and is an alternative to blood testing. Ketostix changes colour depending on the level of ketones found in your urine. Colours range from beige to deep purple to display a level of ketones in your urine. Use Ketostix urine reagent test strips to monitor ketones to ensure the body is not using too much fat for energy.

Ketostix Urinalysis Features:

  • Test ketone levels quickly measure ketone level, which provides information on carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
  • Quick results: A fast, convenient test provides results in 15 seconds.
  • Easy to read: colour-changing strips provide results that are easy to read and decipher.
  • Acetoacetic acid detection: ketone test results can alert users and doctors to make changes or adjustments needed in diet or medication if ketones are detected.

Directions:

  1. Remove the strip from the bottle. Immediately replace the cap. Do not touch the test area of the strip.
  2. Dip the test end of the strip into a fresh urine sample and remove it immediately or pass the test end of the strip through a stream of urine.
  3. Begin timing.
  4. At Exactly 15 seconds, match the reagent area to the ketone colour chart. Ignore colour changes that occur after 15 seconds.
  5. Record the result.

*Note: If the test shows 4 mmol/L or greater amounts of ketone, call your doctor or diabetes educator.
