This test paper allows the quick and easy detection of strong oxidizers such as nitrite and free chlorine. Potassium iodide starch paper is also used to control diazotization reactions. Nitrite or free chlorine oxidize potassium iodide to form elemental iodine which reacts with starch to a blue-violet complex.
Dipsticks can detect protein concentrations as low as 5 to 30 mg/dL. Urine protein concentrations are reported as 30, 100, 300, or 2000 mg/dL. This test is optimized to detect albumin and is less sensitive in detecting globulins. Dipsticks do not detect beta-2- microglobulin or immunoglobulin light chains.
