β-Ketone Test Strips (50 Pieces per Box)

Blood β-Ketone Test Strips are designed for the quantitative measurement of β-ketone (β-hydroxybutyrate) concentration in fresh capillary whole blood (fingertip) and venous whole blood. When used exclusively with the Metabol Pro analyzer by mesics GmbH, the test strips provide fast, reliable, and reproducible results for professional applications.

Using an electrochemical measurement principle based on β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH), the test strips deliver accurate β-ketone values within seconds and support metabolic monitoring in clinical and professional healthcare environments.
