Answer 1

Specific gravity reaction in reagent strip:

Specific gravity of solution is detected by refractometer, osmolality and reagent strip.

• It is a convenient way to detect specific gravity of specimen in reagent strip.

• Glucose and proteins are not normally excreted in urine and they are not electrolyte.

• In abnormal conditions, proteins and glucose are seen in urine.

• Chloride is secreted in the tubules of nephron and excreted through urine.

• Chloride is vital electrolyte in blood, reacts in reagent strip.

Therefore, in reagent strip specific gravity test, “chloride” will react. Hence, the correct answer is option $<div class=answer> Specific gravity reaction in reagent strip: Specific gravity of solution is detected by refractometer, osmolality and reagent strip. • It is a convenient way to detect specific gravity of specimen in reagent strip. • Glucose and proteins are not normally excreted in urine and they are not electrolyte. • In abnormal conditions, proteins and glucose are seen in urine. • Chloride is secreted in the tubules of nephron and excreted through urine. • Chloride is vital electrolyte in blood, reacts in reagent strip.
