Combur 10 test strips are clinical-grade 10-parameter urinalysis dipsticks manufactured by Roche. They are used across Australian GP clinics, urgent care centres, antenatal clinics, aged care facilities and emergency departments for routine urinalysis, UTI screening, diabetes monitoring and pregnancy assessment. The 100-strip box is the standard clinical pack size.
Why choose Combur 10 test strips
Roche is the reason many practices specify these by name. Urinalysis is a visually read, timing-dependent test, so consistency between batches and legible, well-separated pad colours matter more than the parameter count - two brands can read the same ten analytes and still not be equally easy to read at the bench. Combur 10 test strips are a long-standing clinical standard, which also makes them straightforward to specify in procurement.
Reliability in urinalysis comes down to handling as much as chemistry. The pads are moisture-sensitive: the container must be closed immediately, the desiccant left in place, and the strips stored as directed. An open or badly sealed pot degrades results silently - the strip still produces a colour, just not a trustworthy one. Recording the date of opening is a small habit that protects every result after it.
The box of 100 matches real consumption. Routine urinalysis is high volume in general practice and aged care, so clinical bulk keeps the per-strip cost down and, importantly, means fewer containers opened - which is better for the strips than repeatedly breaching small packs.

Common uses
General practice, urgent care, antenatal clinics, aged care and emergency departments. Urocolor 10 Test Strips by Abbott are the alternative 10-parameter strip we stock, so practices with a brand preference or an existing procurement line can match it. Where glycaemic monitoring is also done on site, the Abbott FreeStyle Optium Neo meter kit measures blood glucose and ketones directly. Stocked alongside our nursing and first aid room kits.
Combur 10 test strips FAQs
What does Combur 10 test for?
Glucose, protein, blood, leukocytes, nitrites, pH, ketones, urobilinogen, bilirubin and specific gravity - ten parameters from a single dip, covering infection, kidney and liver screening, glycaemic state and hydration.
How are the strips used?
Dip the strip briefly in fresh, well-mixed urine, remove excess by drawing the edge along the container rim, then read each pad against the colour chart at the time specified for that parameter. Timing differs between pads - reading early or late changes the result.
How should they be stored?
Keep the container tightly closed, leave the desiccant in place and store as directed on the label. The reagent pads are moisture-sensitive, so an open or poorly sealed pot degrades results without any visible sign. Note the date of opening and observe the expiry.
How do Combur and Urocolor compare?
Both are clinical 10-parameter urinalysis strips reading the same analytes - Combur is made by Roche, Urocolor by Abbott. The choice usually comes down to existing procurement arrangements, bench familiarity and how your staff find the colour charts to read.
Can a dipstick result stand on its own?
No. These are screening strips read in clinical context. A positive pad prompts further assessment - culture, laboratory testing or clinical review - rather than providing a diagnosis. Interpretation belongs with the treating clinician.
Why buy the box of 100?
Routine urinalysis is high volume, so clinical bulk lowers the per-strip cost and means fewer containers are opened and re-opened. Smaller packs cost considerably more per strip and are breached more often, which shortens usable life.
For professional use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and your organisation's clinical protocols. Urinalysis test strips are a screening aid and do not provide a diagnosis - results must be interpreted in clinical context by a qualified practitioner and confirmed by further testing where indicated. Observe timing, storage conditions and expiry dates; the reagent pads are moisture-sensitive and degrade if the container is left open.
