Product overviewFor monitoring body fluid pH, test both saliva and urine. Perform measurements at consistent times and record readings over several days to observe trends rather than isolated values. Recommended sampling times include first and second morning urine and the first saliva sample of the day.
Instructions for use- To test saliva:
- Use first thing in the morning or at least 2 hours after eating, drinking or tooth brushing. Do not rinse your mouth.
- Collect non-bubble saliva (spit onto a spoon); non-bubble saliva ensures better contact with reagent pads.
- Dip the strip into the saliva for about 3 seconds, ensuring both reagent pads are covered.
- Wait 15 seconds, then compare the strip to the included color chart to read pH.
- To test urine:
- Collect a mid-stream urine sample in a clean cup.
- Briefly dip the test strip into the urine and shake off excess fluid.
- Wait 15 seconds, then match the strip to the color chart to determine pH.
- Note: the first urine of the day can be more acidic; measure both first and second urine to track changes.
Usage notes- Match strip color to the provided color chart to obtain the pH value.
- Perform tests under consistent conditions when comparing daily readings.
