A member asked:
Why doesn't clinistix show the presence of glucose if the test strip has been dipped in hot water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some...: Known to us, any testing agents have their recommended ways of storage & preservation as well as their expiration date. Deviating from these especially after incidentally dropping into water, their intended sensitivity will change. That is why; so, get a new one and follow instructions for testing and storage.
