Description
Multistix 8 SG urine test strips from Siemens HC can be analysed both visually and with instruments. These urine test strips are shorter and more flexible than most other test strips, providing for a simple assessment even with a small sample quantity. The individual parameters are clearly interpreted thanks to the simultaneous measurement of the specific gravity.
