A urine test strip or dipstick is a basic diagnostic instrument used to determine pathological changes in the urine in standard urinalysis.

A standard urine test strip may comprise up to 10 different chemical pads or reagents which react (change colour) when immersed in, and then removed from, a urine sample.
The test can be read between 60 and 120 seconds after dipping. Routine testing of the urine with multiparameter strips is the first step in the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases.
The strip covers the universal standard 10 parameters:
1. Leukocytes
2. Nitrite
3. Urobilinogen
4. Protein
5. pH
6. Blood
7. Specific Gravity
8. Ketone
9. Bilirubin
10. Glucose
