How many tests are included in each kit?
Each kit includes five test strips, allowing for multiple screenings or routine check-ups.
Can the strips be used for mid-stream collection?
Yes, the test strips are designed for versatility and can be used for both mid-stream collection or standard dip-collection methods.

What are the test strips made of?
The strips feature a durable 3.25-inch white polystyrene base with two integrated reagent pads, providing a rigid and easy-to-handle design.
Why is measuring the ACR important?
Excessive protein (albumin) in the urine is a key clinical indicator of potential kidney damage. Monitoring the ACR helps in:
- Early detection of renal health indicators
- Identifying potential risks for cardiovascular complications
- Providing a preliminary screening tool prior to physician consultation
