For urinalysis by the dip-and-read technique. Similar to all Multistix^® 10 SG Plus Ascorbic Acid. Tests for glucose, bilirubin, ketone, specific gravity, blood, pH, protein, urobilinogen, nitrite, and leukocytes. Also includes additional ascorbic acid analyte pad. The importance of the addition of an ascorbic acid analyte pad is that the glucose test must be repeated if the ascorbic acid reaction is positive. An ascorbic acid content of as little as 5 mg/dL (0.3 mmol) can interfere with a glucose assay in low concentrations. As with glucose detection, blood detection is also disturbed by low concentrations of ascorbic acid, whereas high ascorbic acid concentrations can interfere with the nitrate and bilirubin test zones.
