The colour chart, presented on the label, has pH matches at…

Please note: The Hydrion range of pH testing equipment are pharmaceutical grade quality and not cheap imports. Hence your readings will be instant and accurate as is required in laboratory conditions.

How to use Urine & Saliva pH Test Strips

• Dip the strip into the test solution.
• Instantly compare the resulting colour with the matching pH colour chart.

Testing your urine:

• Collect a fresh urine sample in a clean, dry container. First morning urine is often recommended.
• Or midstream*, quickly wet the pH plastic strip with your urine flow.
• Dip the test strip into the urine sample for 1–2 seconds, or midstream making sure the pad is fully wet.
• Immediately compare the colour of the plastic strip to the pH colour chart.
• Record your pH result and time of day for your own tracking or to share with a health professional.

Ideally, the pH of urine upon waking should be around 6.0 – 6.8 and move towards an alkaline state pH7 and above after eating.

* Midstream means to start your urination and when you feel you’re half finished, that’s when you dip your paper into the urine flow or when you collect a small sample for measuring.

Testing your saliva:

• Do not eat, drink or smoke for at least 15–30 minutes before testing.
• First swallow whatever saliva is in your mouth.
• Draw-up fresh saliva and then swallow.
• Repeat.
• Remove one strip from the vial and close the cap straight away.
• When you draw up saliva for the third time, spit this saliva onto a spoon, spit a small amount of saliva into a clean spoon or cup.
• Dip the test pad end of the strip into the saliva sample for 1–2 seconds.
• Immediately compare the colour of the plastic strip to the pH colour chart.
• Record your pH result and time of day for your own tracking or to share with a health professional.

The same process applies if measuring throughout the day.

The pH of saliva upon waking should be around 6.4 – 6.8 and move towards an alkaline state pH7 and above after eating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the results accurate?
Super-sensitive pharmaceutical grade Hydrion diagnostic pH testing strips give you an accurate reading of how acidic or alkaline your tissues really are.

Approximately how many tests per vial are there?
There is 100 test strips per vial.

Can I use my pH Litmus Test Paper to measure the pH of water?
No this product is not recommended for testing the pH of water.

This is because water is considered a “weakly buffered” solution.

What is a buffered solution?
A buffered solution is a solution with adequate dissolved solids to resist pH changes.

For example, urine and saliva are considered buffered in their natural state. However, rain water, tap water etc. are considered to be dilute, weakly buffered solutions.

For testing weakly buffered solutions, we recommend our water pH testing kits.

What do the results indicate?

• If you have high pH levels – you have low acid levels.
• If you have low pH levels – you have high acid levels.

This reading in turn can be used to adjust your diet and mineral intake so as to bring cellular terrain back into balance.

Are the strips easy to read?
Unlike other brands who have two colour charts to compare one reading, Hydrion pharmaceutical testing equipment are the true leaders in easy-to-read measurement with no guesswork.

Pharmaceutical quality assured since 1934, Hydrion are the true leaders in pH measurement!
