Product Description

Diabetes home testing kit- urine testing. Visual Reading Technique: Hold the Diabetes strip up horizontally and compare the result shown on the strip with the colour chart on the canister label closely and carefully. Take note of the result. For a semi-quantitative result, take down the results according to the time specified on the colour chart. For a qualitative result, the strip should be read 1-2 minute after dipping. If a positive result is obtained, repeat the test and compare with colour chart at the time specified. Colour changes beyond 2 minutes are of no diagnostic value. Packaging of diabetes test kits Kits will be provided in small envelopes with colour chart and instructions, if ordering 100 tests/strips, they will be provided in a screw cap bottle. Glucose This test is based on a sequential enzyme reaction. First, glucose oxidase catalyzes the formation of gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide from the oxidation of glucose. A second enzyme, peroxidase, catalyzes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with potassium iodide chromogenic to oxidize the chromogen to colors ranging from blue through greenish-brown, and brown to dark-brown. Reactivity of the test decreases as the specific gravity and/or pH of urine increases, and may also vary with temperature. Ascorbic acid (more than 50 mg/dl) and ketone bodies (more than 40 mg/dl) may cause a false negative result for a specimen containing a small amount of glucose (100 mg/dl). However, the combinations of such ketone levels and low glucose levels are metabolically improbabl
