Ketogluk-1 Test Strips for Glucose and Ketone Bodies in Urine 50 pcs.

for the simultaneous visual qualitative or semi-quantitative determination of glucose and ketone bodies in human urine

To determine, use freshly collected urine (no more than 2 hours before the analysis) in a clean container.
Open the case or unseal the package, and remove the indicator strip from it. (In the case of a case - immediately close the case tightly with the lid). Immerse the sensor elements of the strip completely in the urine. After 4-5 seconds, remove the strip and remove excess liquid from the sensor elements with a quick motion of the hand, or by gently touching the edge of the strip to clean filter paper for 2-3 seconds, or by gently touching the edge of the strip to the wall of the container with urine. Place the indicator strip on a flat, clean, dry surface with the sensor elements facing up.
After 1 minute from the moment the sensor elements were immersed in urine, compare the color of the sensor element with the corresponding color scale on the packaging label in good lighting.
A change in the color of the sensor elements indicates the presence of ketone bodies and glucose in the urine (qualitative determination). Semi-quantitative determination should be conducted by comparing the color of the sensor elements with the corresponding color fields of the scales.

CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPOSITION
The indicator strip is a plastic strip measuring 5x(60-75) mm, serving as a substrate on which the sensor elements are located.
The first sensor element is a specially treated material measuring 5x(3-6) mm, containing sodium nitroferricyanide and diamine, positioned 1-2 mm from the edge of the substrate, which facilitates chemical reactions and the formation of a colored complex.
The second sensor element is a specially treated material measuring 5x(3-6) mm, containing the enzymes glucose oxidase and peroxidase, chromogen, and stabilizers, located 1-2 mm from the edge of the first sensor element, which enables the oxidation reactions of glucose and chromogen and the formation of a colored complex.

Ketogluk strips should be stored in the manufacturer's packaging in a dry place at a temperature of 10 - 30°C (in the absence of acid, alkali vapors, and organic solvents) for the entire shelf life (24 months).
The determination should be carried out at a temperature of 15 - 30°C.
It is necessary to protect the strips from increased humidity and direct sunlight exposure. Direct sunlight should be avoided on the color scale.
Each indicator strip is intended for a single determination of ketone bodies and glucose content.
After opening the vial, the indicator strips must be used within no more than 5 months.
The strip removed from the packaging should be used for analysis within one hour.
Each time an indicator strip is removed from the vial, it should be immediately and tightly closed with the lid.

Semi-quantitative determination of glucose and ketone bodies in urine allows for monitoring the levels of glucosuria and ketonuria, selecting an appropriate diet, and adjusting the course of treatment.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW!
There should be no glucose in urine. In case of even the slightest appearance of glucose, it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor. The sensitivity of the sensor zone is very high. The most sensitive test in the world (see section "Sensitivity and Specificity").
There should be no ketone bodies in urine. In case of even the slightest appearance of ketone bodies in urine, it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor. The sensitivity of the sensor zone is very high.
METHOD PRINCIPLE
The method for determining ketone bodies in urine is based on a series of sequential chemical reactions between ketone bodies, sodium nitroprusside, and diamine, resulting in the formation of a colored compound. The intensity of the color developed during the chemical reaction is determined by the degree of interaction of sodium nitroprusside and diamine with ketone bodies and is proportional to the content of ketone bodies in urine.
By comparing the intensity of the color of the sensor element of the strip with a standard on a color scale, the content of ketone bodies in urine is determined.
The method for determining glucose is based on a specific enzymatic reaction that oxidizes glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Under the action of the latter, in the presence of the enzyme peroxidase, the chromogen is oxidized, resulting in the formation of a colored compound. The degree of conversion of the chromogen, and therefore the intensity of the color, is proportional to the glucose content in the tested urine.
By comparing the intensity of the color of the chromogen with a standard on a color scale, the glucose content in urine is determined.
ANALYTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE KETOGLYC-1 TEST STRIP
The range of detectable concentrations of ketone bodies in urine is 0.0 - 16.0 mmol/L. The color scale on the label contains 6 color fields corresponding to the concentrations of ketone bodies: 0.0 mmol/L; 0.5 mmol/L; 1.5 mmol/L; 4.0 mmol/L; 8.0 mmol/L; 16.0 mmol/L.
The minimum detectable concentration of ketone bodies in urine is 0.5 mmol/L.
The range of detectable concentrations of glucose in urine is 0.0 - 2.0% (0.0 - 112.0 mmol/L). The color scale on the label contains 6 color fields corresponding to glucose concentrations in % (mmol/L): 0.0 (0.0); 0.1 (5.6); 0.25 (14.0); 0.5 (28.0); 1.0 (56.0) and 2.0 (112).
The minimum detectable concentration of glucose in urine is no more than 0.1% (5.6 mmol/L).
The indicator strips are supplied as a set, which is available in two options depending on the packaging.
Option A. 25, 50, 75, or 100 indicator strips, packed in a case with a lid. The case is equipped with a moisture-absorbing element - fine-pored silica gel.
Option B. 1, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 75, or 100 indicator strips, individually packed in a laminated aluminum foil bag containing a silica gel packet.
Each set of indicator strips is supplied with a label and instructions for use. The label contains two color scales, consisting of a series of color fields, next to each of which is indicated the corresponding concentration of ketone bodies or glucose.

"Ketogluk-1 Test Strips for Determining Glucose and Ketone Levels in Urine" are special tests designed for diagnosing sugar and ketone levels in urine. Measuring sugar and ketone levels is necessary for monitoring glucose levels in diabetes, as well as for determining the presence of ketoacidosis (a condition in which a large amount of ketone bodies accumulates in the blood). The set contains 50 test strips, ensuring reliable results over a sufficiently long period. With Ketogluk-1 tests, you can quickly and conveniently monitor your health status and take timely action in case of unfavorable changes in your readings.
