The Rapid Response™ Urinalysis Reagent Strip are qualitative and semi-qualitative dip-and-read test for the detection of urine analytes in human urine, to aid in the general evaluation of health and in the diagnosis and monitoring of metabolic or systemic diseases.
The 5 Parameter Rapid Response™ Urinalysis Reagent Strip (5.3) simultaneously detects Blood, pH, Ketone, Glucose, and Protein in urine.
Compatible with the Rapid Response™ Urine Analyzer U121S. To learn more, visit the U121S product page.

Simultaneously Detects 11 Urine Parameters
Fast & Reliable Results in 60 Seconds
User-Friendly
- Completely immerse the reagent areas of the strip in fresh, well-mixed urine.
- While removing the strip from the urine, run the edge of the strip against the rim of the urine container to remove excess urine.
- Compare the reagent areas to the corresponding color blocks on the canister label at the specified times.
Instructions simplified for illustrative purposes. Always read and follow the product insert or user manual before use.
Test with the Rapid Response™ U121S Urine Analyzer.
- Scan the barcode on the side of the canister or type the code into the U121S Urine Analyzer using the touchpad
- Completely immerse the reagent areas of the strip in fresh, well-mixed urine.
- Insert the strip into the U121S Urine Analyzer.
Wait for the U121S to print the results.

Blood (BLO) 60 Seconds.
Detects free hemoglobin as low as 0.018-0.060 mg/dL or 5-10 Ery/μL in urine specimens with ascorbic acid content of < 50 mg/dL. Blood is often, but not invariably, found in the urine of menstruating females. The significance of a trace reading varies among patients and clinical judgment is required in these specimens.
Expected result: Negative.
pH 60 Seconds
Permits the quantitative differentiation of pH values within the range of 5-9.
This test is based on a double indicator system which gives a broad range of colors covering the entire urinary pH range. Colors range from orange to yellow and green to blue. The expected range for normal urine specimens from newborns is pH 5-7.7 The expected range for other normal urine specimens is pH 4.5-8, with an average result of pH 6.7
Protein (PRO) 60 Seconds
Detects albumin as low as 7.5-15 mg/dL (0.075-0.15 g/L).
1-14 mg/dL of protein may be excreted by a normal kidney.8 A color matching any block greater than trace indicates significant proteinuria. Clinical judgment is required to evaluate the significance of trace results.
Expected result: Negative
Ketone (KET) 40 Seconds.
Detects acetoacetic acid as low as 2.5-5 mg/dL (0.25-0.5 mmol/L).
Detectable ketone levels may occur in urine during physiological stress conditions such as fasting, pregnancy and frequent strenuous exercise.2-4 In starvation diets, or in other abnormal carbohydrate metabolism situations, ketones appear in the urine in excessively high concentration before serum ketones are elevated.5
Expected Results: Negative
Glucose (GLU) 30 Seconds
Detects glucose as low as 50-100 mg/dL (2.5-5 mmol/L).
Glucose should not be detected in normal urine. Small amounts of glucose may be excreted by the kidney.1 Glucose concentrations as low as 100 mg/dL may be considered abnormal if results are consistent.
Expected Results: Negative
