Description:
Ketone is a substance that can be found in trace amounts in urine. However, when large amounts of ketone are found in your urine it is an indication of a serious problem, especially for people with diabetes. Ketone is produced when you burn too much fat and carbohydrates. This situation is more likely to be found in people with Type I diabetes (insulin dependent).
URS-1K strips for Urinalysis are firm plastic strips to which a ketone reagent area is affixed. URS-1K strips are packaged along with a drying agent in a plastic bottle with a twist off cap. Each strip is ready to use upon removal from the bottle. The entire reagent strip is disposable. Results are obtained by direct comparison of the test strip with the color blocks printed on the bottle label.
Suggested Use:
Dip test patch of a fresh strip into urine sample or pass through urine stream, 1-2 seconds only. Blot excess on a clean paper towel or tissue. Results should be compared at 40 seconds after exposure to urine.
