Diastix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis

About Diastix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis

Diastix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis are simple, reliable urine testing strips designed to help detect and monitor glucose levels in urine, providing a quick dip‑and‑read method for preliminary glucose screening without the need for blood sampling. These test strips are ideal for individuals managing diabetes or anyone who needs a non‑invasive method to check glucose presence in urine at home or in clinical settings.

Each pack contains 50 disposable reagent strips, ready to use straight from the bottle. Developed to give fast visual results, the strips work by changing colour in the presence of glucose, which can then be compared to the colour chart supplied to estimate urine glucose concentration.

Diastix Reagent Strips are used for preliminary urinary glucose detection, helping users check if glucose is present in a urine sample. They provide a quick visual indication based on colour change and are often used by people managing diabetes, those at risk of high blood glucose, or for general urinalysis screening.
