Product reviewsHealth Mate 10 Parameter Professional GP Urinalysis Multisticks Urine Test Strip - Pack of 100

Fast and simple test that is interesting and useful.

A very simple and fast test to do that provides peace of mind. I'm basing its accuracy on the fact that it does appear to be the same test strip that the NHS uses. It's worth noting that while most of the tests indicate a pass (neg) on the left hand side, the PH and SG (Specific gravity) tests will be somewhere in the middle of the range of colours.
The test is easy. While urinating, catch some in a clean jar and then dip the strip in to cover all the little squares for 2 seconds. Then take the strip out and tap it sideways on some kitchen towel to avoid the chemicals from different tests merging with each other. After a minute compare the colours with the chart on the tub to get the results.Read full review...

Gives false readings

I'm type 1 diabetic & I used to get similar things from my GP, however I saw this which were cheaper on here & thought I would give them a go. I tested my urine first thing in the morning for 5 days in a row, and each time it said I had high protein, High gravity & high PH levels, which were all indicators of kydney disease. This scared the life out of me so I went to my GP, had a blood test & it came back all clear with absalutely no signs of any problems or the suspicioun of a problem.

Might as well of sold white sticks with squares coloured in with marker pens for all the use they are. Read full review...

As accurate as the professionals

These dipsticks are the same as the NHS use. Don't forget to treat the patient though, not the dipstick result! Also don't forget to screw the top back on the jar really tightly; the nitrites test square is the one that most people want to know about, and its also the one most sensitive to moisture-ingress, which can give a false result. Don't use them past their expiry date either, for the same reason.
We never go on holiday without them, and a few antibiotics too, just In caseRead full review...

Easy to read strips.

I find these strips very good for checking one's health. I bought them for the ketone section for when I am on a diet but I found the other things being checked far more helpful. It enabled me to ask my doctor for a follow up test (which he said would be more extensive, sensitive and thorough when done by the NHS.) Which it was, and confirmed what I had read on these strips. So I very much recommend having a pot of strips at home in the medicine cupboard for the occasional testing of all the family. Take control of your own health.Read full review...

If certain values are outside the box, I can perform specialist examinations in a timely manner.Read full review...

My Test sticks

I have frequent UTI's because of a continuing need to self catheterise with Foley catheters with the always present infection risk. It is a great help to be able to see a GP with your own test results and most often get an earlier appointment than otherwise. It have saved me from more severe infection developing in the past as a quicker diagnosis always helps.Read full review...

Little if any difference

Have used urinalysis strips for a few years
Would normally purchase Siemens 10 SpG
These are of no discernible difference, cost is slightly less but I did like the fact that the label is non-absorbent, a far better idea.
In short will be buying again.Read full review...

Good product and good value for money

I find this product very good and accurate because I had urine test in the hospital few days after using this home test kit and it was the same result. It’s worth having at home.
