| The 2-drop Clinitest® Procedure Add the Clinitest® reagent tablet to the test tube. Do not shake while boiling or for 15 seconds after boiling. Do not touch the bottom of the tube while the reaction is taking place; it gets very hot. Do not handle the tablets with your bare hands. It can contaminate the tablet and also any moisture on your hands can start a reaction which may result in a burn. | View Page |

Remember that the final color may not be the test result if the "pass through" phenomenon occurred. Test results should be recorded according to your laboratory's procedure. Laboratories may choose to record results as 1%, 2%, 3%, etc; 1+, 2+, 3+, etc; or 100mg/dL, 200mg/dL, 300mg/dL, etc. The result of the test in the top image is negative, and the result of the test in the bottom image, reported as a percentage, is 2%.
