Which hemoglobin meter models are these test strips compatible with?

These strips are designed for use with specific hemoglobin testing meters. Please check the meter model number mentioned on the strip packaging or product label before use, as test strips are generally not universal across different meter brands. Contact amiciKart support with your meter model if you need compatibility confirmation.

What is the measuring range of these hemoglobin test strips?

Most hemoglobin test strips of this type measure Hb levels in the range of approximately 4 g/dL to 25 g/dL, covering both severe anemia and elevated hemoglobin conditions. Refer to the strip insert leaflet for the exact range specified for this batch.

How much blood sample is required per test, and can I use a finger-prick sample?

Yes, these strips are designed for capillary blood samples obtained via a finger-prick lancet — typically requiring only 10–20 microlitres of blood per test. A lancing device (lancet pen) is recommended for a clean, controlled sample collection.

What is the shelf life of these strips, and how should they be stored?

Hemoglobin test strips typically have a shelf life of 12–24 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly. Store the strips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures (ideally between 2°C–30°C) and always keep the vial tightly closed after use.

Can these strips be used to diagnose anemia, or are they for monitoring only?

These strips provide a quantitative hemoglobin reading (g/dL) that can indicate whether your Hb level is within the normal range (men: 13–17 g/dL; women: 12–15 g/dL), but they are intended as a screening and monitoring tool — not a standalone diagnostic device. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment decisions.
