Multistix 10SG Urinalysis Strips 100
Multistix 10SG Urinalysis Strips 100
Professional 10-Parameter Urine Reagent Strips for Comprehensive Point-of-Care Urinalysis
Multistix 10SG Urinalysis Strips are professional in vitro diagnostic reagent strips designed to test 10 important urine parameters on a single strip. They provide screening information relevant to urinary tract infections, carbohydrate metabolism, kidney and urinary function, liver function, urine concentration and acid-base characteristics.
Overview
Multistix 10SG Reagent Strips provide a broad urine chemistry profile from a single urine sample.
Each strip tests for:
- Leukocyte Esterase
- Nitrite
- Protein
- Blood
- Glucose
- Ketones
- Bilirubin
- Urobilinogen
- pH
- Specific Gravity
The strips can be visually interpreted using the corresponding colour chart and specified reading times. They are also designed for use with compatible Siemens CLINITEK urine chemistry analysers where applicable.
Multistix 10SG is intended for professional in vitro diagnostic use and results should be interpreted alongside clinical information rather than used alone to establish a diagnosis.

Why Choose This Product
Multistix 10SG combines 10 commonly assessed urine parameters into one established professional reagent-strip format.
This allows a healthcare professional to obtain considerably more information from a urine sample than a basic glucose/protein strip.
For suspected urinary tract infection, the combination of leukocyte esterase and nitrite is particularly useful as part of the overall clinical assessment. However, neither a positive nor negative dipstick result should be interpreted independently of symptoms and relevant patient factors.
The strips also provide glucose, ketone, protein, blood, bilirubin and urobilinogen results, making them suitable for broader routine urinalysis rather than UTI screening alone.
Helpful Product Information
Multistix 10SG is a screening and diagnostic aid rather than a standalone diagnostic system.
A positive result does not automatically confirm a disease, and a negative result does not necessarily exclude one.
For UTI assessment, leukocyte esterase and nitrite results should be interpreted alongside symptoms and relevant clinical information.
For abnormal glucose or ketone results, appropriate blood testing and clinical assessment may be necessary.
Persistent protein or blood detected in urine warrants appropriate clinical assessment.
Unexpected bilirubin or urobilinogen results may also require further investigation.
Correct specimen collection, storage, dipping technique and reading time are important for reliable results.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Urinalysis is useful because several clinically relevant markers can be assessed rapidly from one urine sample, but results must be interpreted correctly.
A urine dipstick cannot by itself diagnose a urinary tract infection, diabetes, kidney disease or liver disease.
For suspected UTI, symptoms and individual patient characteristics remain important. Some infections may occur without a positive nitrite result, and leukocytes can occur for reasons other than bacterial UTI.
Visible blood in urine should be medically assessed even if a dipstick test has also been performed.
Persistent non-visible blood or protein detected on repeated testing may also require investigation.
Urinary glucose or ketones can require further assessment, particularly where diabetes is known or suspected. Anyone with diabetes who has significant ketones and feels unwell should follow their individual sick-day guidance and seek appropriate medical advice.
Professional users should follow the current Siemens instructions for use, quality-control procedures and applicable point-of-care testing requirements.
Not Suitable For
Do not use:
- After the stated expiry date
- If the strips have been incorrectly stored
- If reagent areas have become contaminated
- If the bottle has been left inadequately closed
- For repeated testing with the same strip
- As the sole basis for making a medical diagnosis
- Contrary to the manufacturer's instructions
- As a consumer self-test unless the exact supplied product is specifically labelled for self-testing
How to Use
For visual interpretation:
- Collect a fresh urine specimen in a clean, dry container.
- Remove one strip without touching the reagent test areas.
- Immediately replace the bottle cap.
- Completely immerse all reagent areas in the urine sample.
- Remove the strip promptly.
- Draw the edge of the strip against the container rim to remove excess urine.
- Hold the strip in the appropriate position.
- Compare each reagent area with the corresponding colour chart on the bottle at the specified reading time.
- Record and interpret the results according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Dispose of the used strip appropriately.
Different reagent areas have specific reading times. Always use the timing information supplied with the current Multistix 10SG pack rather than estimating the result.
When using a compatible CLINITEK analyser, follow the instructions supplied for the analyser and reagent-strip combination.

FAQs
1. What are Multistix 10SG Urinalysis Strips?
Multistix 10SG are professional in vitro diagnostic urine reagent strips manufactured by Siemens Healthineers. Each strip tests 10 urine parameters and is intended to provide broad urine chemistry screening information.
2. What does Multistix 10SG test for?
Each strip tests leukocyte esterase, nitrite, protein, blood, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, urobilinogen, pH and specific gravity.
3. How many Multistix 10SG strips are in this pack?
The bottle contains 100 single-use urine reagent strips.
4. Can Multistix 10SG help assess a possible UTI?
Yes. The strip includes leukocyte esterase and nitrite, which provide useful information when assessing a possible urinary tract infection. Results should be interpreted together with symptoms and other relevant clinical information rather than used alone to diagnose a UTI.
5. Does a negative Multistix result rule out a UTI?
No. A negative leukocyte or nitrite result does not exclude every urinary tract infection. For example, not all organisms produce nitrite, and other factors can influence dipstick results. Symptoms and patient-specific risk factors remain important.
6. Can Multistix 10SG detect glucose and ketones in urine?
Yes. Separate glucose and ketone reagent areas are included. These can provide information relevant to carbohydrate metabolism, but urine results alone should not be used to diagnose diabetes or assess overall diabetic control.
7. Can Multistix 10SG test for protein and blood in urine?
Yes. The strip contains separate reagent areas for protein and blood. Persistent abnormal results should be appropriately investigated because many different factors can cause these findings.
8. Does Multistix 10SG test urine pH and specific gravity?
Yes. pH and specific gravity are both included. pH indicates the relative acidity or alkalinity of the urine, while specific gravity provides information about urine concentration.
9. Can Multistix 10SG be read without a machine?
Yes. The strips can be visually interpreted by comparing the reagent pads with the corresponding colour chart at the specified reading times. Compatible Siemens CLINITEK urine chemistry analysers may also be used where specified.
10. Can Multistix 10SG diagnose diabetes, kidney disease or liver disease?
No single urine reagent strip should be used alone to diagnose these conditions. Multistix 10SG provides parameters that can assist clinical assessment, but abnormal results may require repeat testing, blood tests, urine laboratory analysis or other investigations.
11. Are Multistix 10SG strips suitable for home self-testing?
The standard Siemens Multistix 10SG professional product is intended for professional in vitro diagnostic use. It should not be promoted as a consumer self-test unless the exact product supplied is specifically labelled and authorised for that intended purpose.
12. How should Multistix 10SG strips be stored?
Keep the strips in their original container with the cap tightly closed and follow the temperature and storage requirements printed on the current pack. Protect them from excess moisture, heat and inappropriate environmental exposure, and do not use strips after their expiry date.
