Description
Hemastix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis provide professional-grade testing for the detection of blood in urine samples with laboratory-quality accuracy. Each strip contains sensitive chemical reagents that react with hemoglobin and myoglobin to produce distinct color changes indicating the presence and approximate concentration of blood. This 50-count package offers convenient at-home or clinical testing for monitoring urinary tract health, kidney function, and various medical conditions. The strips detect both intact red blood cells and free hemoglobin, making them valuable for detecting microscopic bleeding that may not be visible to the naked eye. Results are available in just 60 seconds with easy-to-read color comparison chart included. Widely used by healthcare professionals, these strips help monitor conditions such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bladder issues, and post-surgical recovery. Each strip is individually sealed to maintain reagent stability and accuracy. The non-invasive testing method provides valuable health insights for proactive medical care and monitoring.

Dip reagent strip completely into fresh, well-mixed urine sample and remove immediately. Tap edge of strip against container to remove excess urine. Compare color of test pad to color chart at exactly 60 seconds. Do not read results before 40 seconds or after 2 minutes for accurate interpretation.
