Methods are provided for glucose detection and quantification in urine. The methods include selecting a test device comprising a matrix impregnated with a chromogenic indicator mixture, locating the test device to promote incidental contact of same with animal urine, reading a developed indicator color after the device has been wetted with urine, and determining the animal's urine glucose concentration.

Threshold glucose detection in urine

The present invention is directed to a reagent composition for use in detection and quantification of glucose in urine comprising a first chromogenic indicator reagent combination capable of color development to indicate the presence of a lower concentration of glucose, a second chromogenic indicator reagent combination capable of color development to indicate the presence of a higher concentration of glucose, wherein the first chromogenic indicator prevents color development of the second chromogenic indicator unless the higher concentration of glucose is present, a scavenger that prevents color development of the first indicator reagent composition unless a threshold concentration of glucose is present.

Devices and test kits are provided for glucose detection and quantification in urine. The devices and kits comprise a chromogenic indicator mixture comprising a first indicator capable of color development to indicate the presence of a low-to-medium concentration of glucose, a second indicator capable of color development to indicate the presence of a higher concentration of glucose, wherein the first indicator prevents color development of the second indicator unless the higher concentration of glucose is present in the urine, and a non-chromogenic scavenger that interferes with color development of the first indicator when glucose levels are below a threshold concentration, and a carrier impregnated with the chromogenic indicator mixture.
