LW Scientific URS-01PR-GL77 Glucose Urine Reagent Strips | 100/Vial

The LW Scientific URS-01PR-GL77 is a single-parameter glucose urine reagent test strip that screens for the presence of glucose (glucosuria) in urine, delivering a colorimetric result in 60 seconds. Manufactured by LW Scientific, Inc., an ISO 13485-certified laboratory equipment company, the glucose reagent pad uses the established glucose oxidase-peroxidase enzymatic reaction — the gold-standard urine glucose detection chemistry that reacts specifically to glucose without cross-reactivity from other urinary sugars at physiological concentrations. Each sealed vial contains 100 individual single-use reagent strips for economical, high-volume glucose screening programs.

Features & Benefits

• Glucose oxidase-peroxidase specificity — enzymatic chemistry reacts specifically to glucose; other urinary sugars (fructose, galactose, lactose) do not cross-react at physiological concentrations
• 60-second visual read — compare reagent pad color to the on-vial color chart; no external reference materials required
• 100 strips per vial — generous supply for high-volume screening programs, frequent daily monitoring, or multi-patient clinic use
• ISO 13485-certified manufacturer — consistent reagent quality under a certified IVD manufacturing quality management system
• Desiccant-protected vial format — moisture-resistant packaging maintains reagent integrity between uses

Specifications

Intended Use & Applications

• Diabetes screening and monitoring — detection of glucosuria in physician offices, school health clinics, and community health screening programs
• High-volume laboratory glucose screening workflows — single-analyte focus provides maximum cost efficiency where only glucose is being assessed
• Pre-employment and occupational health screening panels
• Health fair and community wellness screening

Usage Instructions

1. Collect a fresh urine specimen in a clean, dry container. Test within 4 hours of voiding. First morning specimens provide highest glucose concentrations if present.
2. Remove one strip from the vial. Replace the cap immediately.
3. Briefly dip the reagent pad fully in urine, then remove immediately.
4. Run the strip edge against the container rim to remove excess urine. Hold horizontally.
5. Compare the pad color to the on-vial color chart at 60 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does glucose in urine always mean diabetes?

Not necessarily. Glucosuria occurs when blood glucose exceeds the renal threshold (typically >180 mg/dL), but it can also result from renal glycosuria — a benign condition where the kidneys spill glucose at normal blood glucose levels. A positive urine glucose result should always be confirmed with a blood glucose measurement and clinical evaluation.

What is the key interference to be aware of?

High concentrations of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) are a clinically important inhibitor of the glucose pad reaction and can produce false-negative results. This is particularly relevant in patients taking high-dose vitamin C supplements. Test urine before vitamin C supplementation, or note the supplement use when interpreting results.

How does this single-parameter strip compare to a full urinalysis?

The URS-01PR-GL77 tests glucose only. When a broader clinical picture is needed — including protein, blood, ketone, and pH — the LW Scientific URS-05PR-7777 5-parameter strip provides five analytes in a single dip at a lower cost-per-analyte. For complete urinalysis including UTI and liver function markers, see the LW Scientific URS-10PR-7777 10-parameter strip.

How should the vial be stored?

Store at room temperature (59–86°F / 15–30°C) in the original sealed vial, away from direct light, heat, and humidity. Do not remove the desiccant packet. Replace the cap immediately after removing each strip. Do not use after the expiration date on the label.
