Microsidd Glucose + Ketone Urine Test Strips are 2-parameter urine reagent strips designed for simultaneous screening of glucose (GLU) and ketones (KET) in urine.
Each strip contains separate reagent areas for glucose and ketones, allowing both parameters to be screened using the same urine specimen.
This 100-test pack is suitable for focused urine chemistry screening in laboratories, clinics, healthcare facilities and appropriate monitoring workflows where glucose and ketones are the required parameters.
Brand: Microsidd
Test parameters: Glucose + Ketones
Sample: Urine
Pack size: 100 test strips
| Parameter | Abbreviation | What It Screens |
|---|---|---|
| Glucose | GLU | Glucose present in the urine specimen |
| Ketones | KET | Ketone bodies detected by the reagent system in urine |
These strips are intended for situations where urine glucose and ketone screening is required without the additional parameters included in broader multi-parameter urinalysis strips.
Glucose and ketones are different biochemical parameters and provide different information during urine chemistry screening.
Glucose is normally reabsorbed by the kidneys, so routine urine usually contains little or no detectable glucose using standard reagent-strip methods.
Urinary glucose may occur when blood glucose rises above the kidney's glucose reabsorption threshold, although there are other possible causes.
Urine glucose testing should not be used by itself to diagnose diabetes and does not replace blood glucose testing or HbA1c where these investigations are clinically required.
Ketones are produced when the body uses fat as an important energy source.
Urinary ketones may occur in several circumstances, including fasting, reduced carbohydrate intake, prolonged exercise, vomiting, illness and inadequate insulin availability.
The significance of a ketone result depends on the clinical situation and other findings.
Depending on the intended testing workflow and applicable professional guidance, these strips may be useful in:
Microsidd offers focused and multi-parameter urine reagent strips so buyers can select the configuration that matches their testing requirement.
| Testing Requirement | Recommended Microsidd Product | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Glucose + Ketones | Microsidd Glucose + Ketone | GLU + KET |
| Glucose + Protein | Microsidd Glucose + Protein | GLU + PRO |
| Broader Routine Urinalysis | Microsidd URS10T | 10 urine chemistry parameters |
The strip with the largest number of parameters is not automatically the best option. Choose according to the actual urine chemistry parameters required.
If the testing requirement is glucose and protein rather than glucose and ketones, choose the dedicated Microsidd two-parameter strip.

Correct urine chemistry testing begins with appropriate specimen collection.
A suitable urine specimen container helps provide a clean and convenient sample for reagent-strip testing.

This creates a simple urine testing workflow:
Always follow the Instructions for Use and colour chart supplied with the actual product pack.
Important: Correct timing matters. Reading reagent pads too early or too late may affect interpretation.
Microsidd Glucose + Ketone Urine Test Strips use visual reagent-pad colour changes.
After the strip has reacted with the urine specimen, each reagent area should be compared with the corresponding colour scale supplied with the product at the specified reading time.
The glucose and ketone pads must be interpreted individually according to the product instructions.
| Urine Glucose Testing | Blood Glucose Testing |
|---|---|
| Detects glucose excreted into urine | Measures glucose directly in a blood sample |
| Provides indirect screening information | Provides a direct blood glucose measurement |
| Influenced by renal glucose threshold and urine timing | Reflects blood glucose at the time of testing |
| Uses urine reagent strips | Usually requires a compatible blood glucose meter and strips |
Urine glucose testing should not replace clinically required blood glucose monitoring or HbA1c testing.

They screen two urine chemistry parameters: glucose (GLU) and ketones (KET).
This product contains 100 urine reagent strips.
No. They are designed for glucose and ketone screening. If you require glucose + protein testing, choose Microsidd Glucose + Protein Urine Test Strips.

No. These strips screen glucose and ketones only. For broader urine screening including parameters such as leukocytes and nitrite, consider Microsidd URS10T.
No. Glucose in urine may provide useful screening information, but urine glucose testing does not independently diagnose diabetes.
No. Urine glucose screening and blood glucose measurement are different tests. Blood glucose meters measure glucose directly in a blood sample.
Urinary ketones may occur in several situations including fasting, reduced carbohydrate intake, vomiting, illness, prolonged exercise or inadequate insulin availability. Interpretation depends on the clinical circumstances.
No. Significant ketones in a person with diabetes, particularly when accompanied by high blood glucose, vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, marked weakness, confusion or other concerning symptoms, may require prompt medical assessment.
No electronic glucose meter is required for visual testing. Results are interpreted by comparing the reagent pads with the supplied colour chart according to the specified timing.
No. Each urine reagent strip is intended for single use only.
Use a clean, suitable specimen container appropriate for the intended urine test.

Choose Glucose + Ketone strips when those are the only two required parameters. Choose URS10T when broader screening for multiple urine chemistry parameters is required.
Microsidd Glucose + Ketone Urine Test Strips are screening and monitoring aids. Results should not be interpreted as a standalone medical diagnosis.
Urine glucose does not directly represent the current blood glucose concentration and does not replace clinically appropriate blood glucose or HbA1c testing.
Urine ketones may occur for several reasons. Their significance depends on symptoms, diabetes status, nutritional state, medication and the overall clinical situation.
Unexpected, persistent or clinically significant results should be assessed by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional and confirmed with additional testing where necessary.
Do not start, stop or change insulin, diabetes medicines, diet or other medical treatment solely on the basis of a urine reagent-strip result.
Always follow the Instructions for Use supplied with the product.
This diagnostic consumable is non-returnable and non-exchangeable once correctly supplied.
Storage, moisture exposure, contamination and handling conditions can affect diagnostic-strip integrity. Please verify the brand, parameters, pack size and intended application before ordering.
