Combur/Chemstrip

Established quality, proven to perform1-4

Urine reagent strips are a useful tool for investigating, diagnosing, and screening diseases immediately. The Combur-Test® strip technology offers an immediate and reliable result largely unaffected by ascorbic acid in the sample. It reduces unnecessary retesting and helps prevent false-negative results for glucose and hemoglobin with the application of an iodate-impregnated mesh layer on the strip.1-4 Low instances of false negatives minimize the testing time and increase the cost efficiency.

Roche utilizes the same standardized, unique technology in the visual test strips and all of the urinalysis instruments.

Three simple testing steps*

Gloved hand dipping Combur-Test® strip into a pot filled with urine

Dip the test strip in urine for about 1 second.

Gloved hand comparing colours on the Combur-Test® strip to a reference on the side of the test strip container

After 60 seconds, compare the color of the detection pad of the strip with the color scale on the test strip vial. Strips face downwards during operation and fingers stay clear and safe from the samples.
