Explore how Vitamin C affects urinalysis reagent chemistry in educational and laboratory demonstrations. Learn about antioxidant interference experiments.
Vitamin C in urine is often used in urinalysis experiments to demonstrate antioxidant interference with reagent chemistry. These Indigo® vitamin C test strips allow students and educators to explore how ascorbic acid interacts with other urine test reagents and may alter color reactions. This is useful for teaching colorimetric analysis, reagent design, and the effect of antioxidants in an analytical-chemistry context rather than for health interpretation.
Only$27.95 per one hundred strips. Why pay more for 50 strips just to get "free" shipping?
Vitamin C levels may increase after consuming citrus or fortified drinks.
Test before-and-after samples from safe beverages to observe concentration changes.
Food chemistry, metabolism models (non-clinical).
Quantitative Color Comparisons
Color scales allow semi-quantitative interpretation of concentration.
Estimate Vitamin C levels using a color chart or serial dilution.
Data recording, calibration curves, visible spectroscopy basics.
Ascorbic acid can be metabolized into oxalate, and these compounds differ in acidity and molecular structure. Experiments sometimes explore how these molecules influence pH changes in simulated urine or buffered solutions. This allows students to investigate acid–base chemistry and metabolic conversion without suggesting clinical diagnosis or treatment.

Specifications
The number of strips (100) per pack is approximate.
The guaranteed shelf life is 3 years if the pack is kept sealed & stored in a cool dark place. 5 years is typical but test against a calibrated tablet to be sure.
Works with any form of ascorbic acid; eg. calcium ascorbate or sodium ascorbate.

I purchased this product to monitor urine levels of ascorbic acid after beginning Liposomal Vitamin C. These test strips are an indispensable tool to verify that, yes indeed, Liposomal Vitamin C greatly increases blood levels of Vitamin C.
Anyone in doubt on the subject of Liposomal Vitamin C can easily and inexpensively confirm for themselves how effective this method of administration actually is. I heartily recommend these test strips to anyone considering Liposomal Vitamin C as an addition to their daily diet. Liposomal Vitamin C works and these test strips confirm it.
