Albustix Urine Reagent Strips

When protein turns up in urine, it can be an early flag for kidney trouble, preeclampsia in pregnancy, or complications tied to diabetes and hypertension. Albustix reagent strips give clinicians and labs a fast, single-parameter way to screen for that protein (albumin) at the point of care — no analyzer required, results read visually in seconds against a color chart.

We carry the Siemens Albustix Urine Reagent Strips (10333485) in a 100-strip bottle, delivering 100 tests per container. Each strip is dipped briefly in a fresh urine sample, then compared to the graduated color blocks on the bottle label, which correspond to negative through increasing concentrations of albumin. Because Albustix tests for protein only — rather than the eight, ten, or more analytes on a multi-parameter strip — it's the practical choice when protein is the specific concern you're monitoring, keeping cost per test low and readings unambiguous.

These strips are used across physician offices, prenatal clinics, dialysis programs, nursing facilities, and home-health settings that track proteinuria over time. Buyers typically ask about shelf stability and storage: keep the bottle tightly capped, store at room temperature away from moisture and direct light, and never remove the desiccant. Reading the strip within the manufacturer's stated timing window is essential, since colors continue to develop and a late read can overstate the result. Always check the expiration date printed on the bottle before use, and use only fresh, well-mixed urine for accurate screening.

Albustix pairs naturally with broader point-of-care testing supplies. Explore related options in our Diagnostic Tests collection, and round out your testing station with items from Medical Lab Supplies.
