Abstract
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.
