About Bayer Keto-Diastix | Urinalysis Reagent Strips (50 Tests)
Bayer Keto-Diastix reagent strips provide quick, at-home urine screening for ketones and glucose in a single strip. Designed for people who need convenient sick-day checks, low-carb/fasting monitoring, or day-to-day diabetes self-care, each strip gives semi-quantitative results in seconds using an easy color change you compare to the bottle chart. No meter, batteries, or special equipment required. The compact vial holds 50 single-use strips for reliable spot-testing at home, work, school, or travel.
Ketone test pad: reacts primarily with acetoacetic acid via the nitroprusside reaction (e.g., sodium nitroprusside) to produce a color change proportional to ketone level.
Glucose test pad: glucose oxidase + peroxidase enzyme system with a chromogen (e.g., iodide dye) that changes color in the presence of urinary glucose. Includes buffers and stabilizers on an absorbent pad; results are read visually against the printed color scale.
