Mission Urine Glucose + Ketone Strips 2GK | 2 Parameter Urinalysis Reagent Strips | 100 Tests

Mission 2GK Urine Glucose & Ketone Test Strips – 100 Tests

Mission Urine Glucose + Ketone Strips 2GK are 2-parameter urinalysis 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 from the same urine sample.

The Mission urinalysis range is manufactured by ACON and is designed to provide convenient urine chemistry screening for healthcare and point-of-care applications.

Pack size: 100 urine reagent strips per canister.

What Does Mission 2GK Test?

Parameter	Abbreviation	What It Screens
Glucose	GLU	Presence or concentration range of glucose in urine
Ketones	KET	Presence or concentration range of ketone bodies detected by the reagent system

Mission 2GK is therefore suitable when the testing requirement is specifically focused on urine glucose and ketones rather than a full multi-parameter urinalysis.

Why Test Glucose and Ketones Together?

Glucose and ketones are different urine chemistry parameters and provide different information.

Glucose in Urine

Under normal circumstances, urine usually contains little or no detectable glucose with routine reagent-strip methods. Urinary glucose may occur when blood glucose exceeds the kidney's ability to reabsorb glucose, but there are also other possible causes.

Urine glucose testing should not be used by itself to diagnose diabetes or to replace blood glucose testing or HbA1c where these are clinically required.

Ketones in Urine

Ketones are produced when the body uses fat as a significant energy source. Urinary ketones may occur in several circumstances including fasting, reduced carbohydrate intake, prolonged exercise, illness, vomiting and inadequate insulin availability.

The meaning of a positive ketone result depends on the person's circumstances and other findings. In people with diabetes, significant ketones—particularly when accompanied by high blood glucose or symptoms—can require prompt medical assessment.

Who May Use Mission 2GK Urine Strips?

Depending on applicable professional guidance and the manufacturer's instructions, these strips may be used in settings such as:

• Diagnostic laboratories
• Hospitals
• Clinics
• Diabetes-care settings
• Point-of-care testing
• Health screening programmes
• Professional urine chemistry testing
• Suitable monitoring situations where urine glucose and ketone screening has been advised

Mission 2GK vs Other Urine Test Strips

Strip Type	Parameters	Best Suited For
Mission 1G	Glucose	Focused urine glucose screening
Mission 2GK	Glucose + Ketones	Focused glucose and ketone screening
Mission 2GP	Glucose + Protein	Focused glucose and protein screening
Mission 10U	10 urine chemistry parameters	Broader routine urinalysis

If you only require glucose and ketone screening, Mission 2GK provides a more focused option than purchasing a broader 10-parameter strip.

How to Use Mission 2GK Urine Reagent Strips

Always follow the current Instructions for Use supplied with your specific pack. Reaction times and interpretation criteria are product-specific.

1. Collect a fresh urine specimen in a clean, dry container.
2. Remove one strip from the canister without touching the reagent areas.
3. Immediately close the canister tightly.
4. Completely immerse the reagent areas in the urine sample as directed in the product instructions.
5. Remove the strip and eliminate excess urine according to the manufacturer's procedure.
6. Keep the reagent areas positioned appropriately while the reactions develop.
7. At the specified reading time, compare the glucose and ketone reagent areas with the corresponding colour chart.
8. Record the result if required.
9. Dispose of the used strip appropriately.

Important: Read each parameter at the time specified in the pack insert. Reading too early or too late may affect interpretation.

How Are Mission Urine Strips Read?

Mission urine reagent strips can be interpreted visually by comparing each developed reagent pad with the corresponding colour scale supplied with the product.

ACON also manufactures Mission urine analyzers for compatible Mission reagent-strip configurations. If analyzer reading is intended, always confirm that the exact strip configuration is supported by the particular analyzer before use.

Mission 2GK or 10-Parameter Urine Strips?

Choose according to the purpose of testing.

Choose Mission 2GK when:

• Glucose and ketones are the two parameters you specifically need.
• A focused urine chemistry test is preferred.
• Other routine urinalysis parameters are not required for the intended screening.

Consider a 10-parameter strip when:

• A broader routine urinalysis is required.
• Parameters such as protein, leukocytes, nitrite, blood, pH, specific gravity, bilirubin and urobilinogen are also needed.

Need Glucose + Protein Instead?

Mission 2GK detects glucose + ketones. It does not test urine protein.

If the required parameters are glucose and protein, choose:

Storage and Handling

Urine reagent strips contain chemically reactive test areas and should be handled carefully.

• Keep strips in their original canister.
• Close the canister immediately after removing a strip.
• Protect strips from excessive moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
• Do not touch the reagent areas with your fingers.
• Do not transfer strips between containers.
• Do not use strips beyond the stated expiry date.
• Do not use strips if the reagent areas appear damaged or abnormally discoloured before testing.
• Follow the storage temperature stated on the current product label and Instructions for Use.

ACON states that Mission urinalysis reagent-strip canisters have a specified unopened shelf life and a shorter stability period after opening. Always rely on the expiry date and opened-canister instructions supplied with your actual pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Mission 2GK test?

Mission 2GK is a two-parameter urine reagent strip designed to screen glucose and ketones in urine.

How many strips are supplied in the Mission 2GK pack?

The Microsidd listing is supplied as 100 test strips per canister.

Does Mission 2GK test protein?

No. Mission 2GK is intended for glucose and ketone testing. For glucose + protein screening, choose a product such as Mission 2GP.

Does Mission 2GK test for diabetes?

The strip can detect urinary glucose and ketones, but it does not independently diagnose diabetes. Diabetes diagnosis and management generally require appropriate blood-based testing and medical assessment.

Can Mission 2GK replace a blood glucose meter?

No. Urine glucose testing and blood glucose measurement are different tests. Urine glucose does not provide a direct measurement of the person's current blood glucose concentration.

Can Mission 2GK measure blood ketones?

No. Mission 2GK tests a urine sample. Blood ketone testing requires a compatible blood ketone testing system.

Do I need a urine analyzer to use Mission 2GK?

Mission urine reagent strips are designed to support visual interpretation using the supplied colour chart. If an analyzer is to be used, compatibility with the exact strip configuration and analyzer model should be confirmed first.

Are Mission 2GK strips reusable?

No. Each reagent strip is intended for a single test only.

Can a positive ketone result be ignored?

The significance depends on the result, symptoms and clinical circumstances. People with diabetes who have substantial ketones, especially together with high blood glucose, vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, marked weakness, confusion or other concerning symptoms, should seek appropriate medical advice promptly.

How should the strips be stored after opening?

Keep them in the original tightly closed canister and follow the opened-canister storage and stability instructions supplied by the manufacturer. Avoid moisture and contamination of the reagent pads.

Medical Information Notice

Mission 2GK urine reagent strips are screening and monitoring aids. Urine-strip results should not be interpreted as a standalone diagnosis.

Urine glucose and ketone findings can be influenced by multiple clinical and physiological factors. Unexpected, persistent or significant results should be assessed in the appropriate clinical context 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.
