Proper Usage & Storage Instructions
To ensure optimal strip performance and prevent premature reagent degradation, follow the recommended handling protocols:

Store the bottle at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Do not freeze.
Keep the bottle tightly sealed and out of direct sunlight to prevent ambient moisture activation.
Dip the strip briefly into a fresh, well-mixed uncentrifuged urine sample, ensuring all 5 pads are fully wet.
Run the edge of the test strip along the rim of your specimen container to draw off excess urine.
Compare the color changes against the bottle chart at the exact indicated time frames or place the strip directly into your Clinitek analyzer.
