    It is also noted on the bottle, to NOT TOUCH the TEST STRIP AREAS; which you do in the video. It can cause inaccurate results.

    WHEW! glad i watched this haha, had bought some like a year ago and just tried em tonight randomly and my leukocytes where super purple! freaked out a lil and This was the first vid i pulled up and ur intro made me look at an unused strip, they are all bad/expired hah.

    Please delete/ignore 2:44-2:50 when the narrator says you can skip the individual timing of the tests and read the whole strip at 2 minutes. That approach will give false positives or erroneous test results. The little numbers are there for a reason. The reason is that that is when each test is accurate. The chemical reactions that cause the color changes continue to darken over time. So if you wait until 2 minutes some of the test pads may have gone several shades darker from where the true result is.

    I'm glad I came here to watched this very informative video. I thought there was something strange about those strips I bought as soon as I first opened them though they weren't expired. They were probably an ebay purchase that was already opened before I got them. So I won't be buying anymore of these or any strips from ebay anymore. Very informative video.

    Stick is very sensitive to light, moisture and temperature. Your hand might be moist, hot and it can affect reading significantly and decreases shelf life. I am registered nurse. People tend to forget to check colour, clarity of urune and straightforward dip the stick which I feel it's wrong practice.

    Does this result not concern. Does this not mean that you have an unknown Kidney disfunction esp. if this is a constant over many months. You should be at the opposite end of the scale. Females are a little higher on the PH but not at the other end of the chart.

    GREAT demonstration! I just performed this test with a similar brand (11-point test) because last week, on a much simpler home test, I tested as having a UTI. All was normal this time (after antibiotics) except S.G.--way off. I will have to search elsewhere to know what that means and whether it's important. MAY call your company number if I have no luck, so thank you for providing contact info.

    When I use a test strip I get inconclusive results if you can call it that... My leukocyte 'square' turns fairly deep purple in the middle, but remains its original 'white' color towards the rims. My protein 'square' is also weird and goes dark blue/green in the rims, but remains its original color in the middle. Are these false positives or not? I've had these for a few months now so I'm guessing it's nothing of importance really. But it still confuses me as to how I'm supposed to interpret it, while the other 'squares' behaves like they're supposed to de. Do any of you have an idea of what I should do about this?
