Specific Gravity, Protein, Glucose, Ketones, Ascorbic AcidNEOCHECK 1 to 11 are professional Urine reagent test strips for the rapid determination of Glucose, Protein, pH, Leukocytes, Nitrites, Ketones, Bilirubin, Blood, Urobilinogen, Specific Gravity and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) levels in urine. These are the diagnostic reagent strips used by physicians snd laboratories (in clinics and hospitals) to initially screen for suspected or existing health conditions. Simple to use, urine diagnostic reagent strips provide early indications of developing health problems and identify potential abnormal functions requiring more extensive testing. Additionally, routine use is frequently recommended by physicians for monitoring certain existing and chronic health conditions.)

NEOCHECK urinalysis test strips with 1 to 11 parameters (chemical reagent pads) are simple, easy to use reagent test strips for the detection of key diagnostic chemical markers in human urine. They are the same test strips used routinely by doctors, laboratories and healthcare professionals in preliminary diagnosis of and initial screening for potential health problems. NEOCHECK Strips are plastic strips with affixed chemically specific reagent pads. These reagent pads react with the sample urine to provide a standardized visible color reaction in certain time depending on the specific panel screen. The color is then visually compared to attached color chart in order to determine the level of each parameter (analyte). Test results may provide useful information regarding carbohydrate (sugar) metabolism (diabetes), kidney function, acid-base balance, bacteriuria, occult blood , high leukocytes (infection) and other conditions of overall health. The strips are ready to use upon removal from the vial and the entire reagent strip is disposable. NEOCHECK reagent test strips are packed in vials of 100 tests with shelf life of approximately two (2) year. Each vial comes with a complete color chart and
abstract on the chemical and biological properties of the test
for rapid visual diagnosis.
NEOCHECK urine test strips contain up to 11 chemical pads which react with specifical analytes upon immersion and immediate removal from urine sample.

Collect a fresh urine sample in a clean, dry disposable container (plastic or glass). It is best to use first morning samples as they contain the highest concentration of analytes.
Remove one reagent strip from the bottle, immediately replacing the container cap, minimizing the exposure of the remaining test strips to light and air.
Completely immerse the reagent pads of the strip in the urine sample and tetract strip immediately to avoid dissolving out the reagent pads.
While removing the reagent strip, run the edge of the strip against the rim of the specimen container to remove excess urine. Hold the strip in a horizontal position to prevent possible cross contamination of chemicals located in adjacent reagent pads.
Compare the color change of reagent pads to the corresponding color chart on the bottle label. Read results according to time specified for each parameter tested.
Record the results of your readings for discussion and evaluation with your physician and discard used reagent strip.
Depending of strip type, results are also read immediately on Urine analyzer.

Is your body burning fat cells? The presence of elevated levels of ketones in human urine is a primary indicator that the body is in ketosis. Ketosis simply means that the body's stored fat cells are being utilized as a primary fuel source to produce energy. The by products of fat metabolism are ketones. Ketones are not stored by the body and are eliminated as detectable waste products in urine. Therefore, monitoring the level of ketones is presumptive of, and directly correlated to the metabolizing, or burning of stored fat cells to produce energy. Likewise the conclusion can be drawn that the higher the concentration of ketones in urine, the higher is the amount of fat cells metabolized by the body. Ketone test strips are used routinely to help measure the progress of dieters especially those maintaining a low carbohydrate diet. Additionally, ketones are monitored in individuals with Type 1 diabetes. In diabetics, high ketone levels indicate ketoacidosis, a complication of inadequate insulin levels that can lead to diabetic coma. In overall health considerations, high ketone levels are generally an indication of abnormal nutritional conditions, including starvation, fasting, anorexia, high protein or low carbohydrate diets.

glucose should not be detected in normal urine. small amounts of glucose may be excreted by the kidney. these amounts are usually below the sensitivity of this test but on occasion may produce a color between the negative and 5.5 mmol/L. Consistent elevated results are considered to be significantly abnormal and professional advice should be obtained immediately.
-
Protein is usually not detectable in normal urine. Clinical judgment and advice along with further tests would be required to properly evaluate the significance of consistent elevated readings.
-
Normal and abnormal urinary pH may range from 5 to 9. Readings are generally situation specific and should be discussed with your healthcare professional. Generally, certain conditions manifest in low or high consistent pH readings and should be professionally evaluated. First morning urine from healthy individuals will usually range from 5 to 6.

Significant color change in the leukocyte panel would indicate an elevated level of white blood cells indicating a possible infection. A color change, or abnormal reading in the blood panel could indicate undiagnosed internal bleeding.
