Siemens Multistix 8 SG Urinalysis Reagent Strips – 8-Parameter Urine Test Strips 100 Strips/Bottle

Siemens Multistix 8 SG Urinalysis Reagent Strips (100 Count) – Manufacturer MPN: 2304

Expand your diagnostic precision with the Siemens Multistix 8 SG Urinalysis Reagent Strips. Designed for comprehensive routine clinical screening, these medical-grade 8-parameter urine test strips empower healthcare professionals to rapidly identify early indicators of metabolic disorders, kidney diseases, liver stress, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) right from the point of care. 

Each Siemens urine dipstick features a firm, non-reactive plastic backing holding chemically treated reagent pads. Engineered with advanced separation technology, the pads isolate individual analytes to prevent lateral fluid migration and cross-contamination, ensuring absolute reading clarity within 60 to 120 seconds. 

Comprehensive 8-Parameter Diagnostic Panel
The Siemens Multistix 8 SG (Product ID 2304) evaluates eight crucial medical benchmarks to provide an immediate overview of systemic patient health:

Leukocytes: Detects leukocyte esterase to confirm urinary tract inflammation or infection.
Nitrite: Flags the conversion of dietary nitrate by gram-negative bacteria, serving as a vital indicator for UTIs.
Protein: Screens for proteinuria, a critical early flag for latent kidney disorders or filtration issues.
pH: Measures the acid-base balance of the urinary tract to monitor metabolic acidosis or stone-forming risks.
Blood: Detects intact red blood cells or free hemoglobin to identify urological trauma or hematuria.
Specific Gravity (SG): Assesses urine concentration to evaluate renal tubule concentration capacity and hydration status.
Ketones: Measures acetoacetic acid to assist in monitoring diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or extreme dietary restrictions.
Glucose: Essential for tracking glycosuria and assisting in proactive diabetes screenings.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

Reliable UTI Prediction: The combined interaction of leukocyte and nitrite fields significantly increases overall sensitivity, minimizing false-negative diagnostic reads.
Ascorbic Acid Protection: Formulated with integrated stabilization blocks to counteract Vitamin C interference, preventing false negatives on blood and glucose pads.
Flexible Instrument Compatibility: Can be interpreted manually via the container’s vibrant color chart or processed automatically using the Siemens Clinitek Status+ Urine Analyzer for automated data logging.
CLIA Waived Status: Certified for simplified regulatory compliance in standard physician offices, public clinics, and decentralized laboratories.

Proper Storage & Handling Guide
To preserve chemical active ingredients and maintain exact diagnostic validity, follow these storage protocols:

Store between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Never store in a freezer or expose to direct thermal elements.
Keep the cap tightly secured immediately after extracting a strip to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity.
Briefly dip the strip into a fresh urine sample, wetting all 8 pads uniformly, then remove instantly.
Tap or run the plastic strip edge along the rim of the collection container to draw away extra liquid.
Read results under good lighting at the specified time boundaries using the bottle chart or your Clinitek instrument.
