Glucose Test Strips (Product Code: SLE/CH/208) are reagent strips used to give a semi-quantitative test for glucose in urine, in biology, health education and chemistry teaching labs. The test pad changes colour and the shade indicates roughly how much glucose is present, rather than a simple yes or no; each pack holds 50 strips. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a biology lab equipment supplier in India.

In school and college practicals they show how glucose in urine is screened. Teachers often prepare simulated urine samples containing different amounts of dissolved glucose so students can test them safely; each group dips a strip briefly into a sample in a test tube, removes the excess liquid against the rim, waits for the reading time and compares the pad colour following the reading instructions. Ranking the samples from lowest to highest glucose opens a discussion of kidney function, blood sugar control and why glucose in urine is something doctors investigate.
Running the same samples through Benedict’s test alongside the strips lets students compare a quick strip reading with a heated chemical test, which works well in health education lessons. Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place, take out only the strips needed and avoid touching the test pads. Classroom results are for learning only; any medical decision should rely on testing by qualified health professionals.
Glucose Test Strips are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, and sources teaching consumables for schools, colleges and distributors. They can be quoted on the same order as Benedict’s reagent, test tubes and racks for a complete glucose practical. More about us is on the company profile.

How many strips are in a pack?
Each pack of Glucose Test Strips contains 50 strips, so order packs according to the number of groups and samples you plan to test, allowing a few extra strips for repeats and teacher demonstrations.
What does semi-quantitative mean?
Semi-quantitative means the Glucose Test Strips give an approximate glucose level by colour, grouping results into ranges, rather than an exact concentration value of the kind an instrument would measure.
Can the strips test for anything other than glucose?
Glucose Test Strips are listed as a test for glucose in urine only. If you need to test other substances in your practical, ask us through the contact page about suitable reagents from our range.
What is the shelf life of the strips?
The shelf life of Glucose Test Strips depends on the reagent, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and plan to use opened containers without long delays.
How should opened packs be stored?
Close the Glucose Test Strips container immediately after taking out a strip and keep it in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct light, taking care never to touch the test pads.
Are the strips intended for medical diagnosis?
Glucose Test Strips on this page are offered for teaching and demonstrating urine glucose testing. Classroom results are for learning only, and any medical decision should rely on testing by qualified health professionals.
