The CentriVet Bovine Blood Ketone Test Strips are thin strips with a chemical reagent system which work with the CentriVet GK Blood Glucose & Ketone Meter to measure the blood β-Ketone (beta-hydroxybutyrate) concentration in whole blood. A transient electrical current is formed during the reaction and the blood β-Ketone concentration is calculated based on the electrical current detected by the meter, then the result is shown on the meter display.
Blood is applied to the end tip of the test strip, and then automatically absorbed into the reaction cell where the reaction takes place · The meters are calibrated to display plasma equivalent results
