Hemastix Urine Reagent Strips for Blood Detection

Hemastix reagent strips give you a fast, at-home or point-of-care way to check for the presence of blood in urine — a screening step often recommended for people monitoring kidney conditions, urinary tract concerns, or hematuria flagged by a clinician. A single dip and a color comparison against the bottle chart is all it takes to get a reading.

We carry the Siemens Hemastix Urine Reagent Strips (10312568) in bottles of 50, the standard configuration for clinics, labs, and individuals doing repeat testing. The strips detect occult (hidden) blood as well as visible red cells, and results develop in under a minute, making them practical for routine self-monitoring between appointments.

To use them, dip the reagent pad briefly in a fresh urine sample, tap off the excess, and read the color change at the timing shown on the bottle label. Consistent results depend on a few basics: keep the bottle tightly capped and stored away from moisture and light, don't touch the reagent pad, and always check the expiration date before testing. Because these are a screening tool rather than a diagnosis, any positive result should be discussed with your healthcare provider, who may follow up with a full urinalysis.

Hemastix are single-parameter strips focused solely on blood — if you need to track multiple values like glucose, protein, ketones, or pH at the same time, a multi-panel product may suit you better.
