more capacity to handle acidic substances than basic ones. The tests for pH utilize a series of dyes which are sensitive to certain hydrogen ion concentrations. Such dyes as methyl red and bromthymol blue are frequently utilized . There are several brands and types of paper strips which can be used to measure pH . Litmus paper will only indicate acid or alkaline pH. Medical quality Hydrion® papers are available for the determination of urine pH. The product Nitrazine® papers (Phenapthazine-Squibb) is supplied in l5-foot rolls and can be used to make approximately 180 tests. The product has seven color gradations in a pH range from 4.5 to 7.5. When using this paper stri p for pH determinations of the urine, a pH of 0.2 should be subtracted from the indica ted readin g after comparing with the sup plied color chart. The urine used in makin g these determina tions should not be diluted with water or other fluids . Both the Hydrion® and Nitrazine® papers a re supplied with a color chart on the package . The multiple diagnostic aid product Combistix® contains one section of the paper strip for pH measurements from five to nine. Thus with this one dip-

and-read paper strip patients may determine the presence or absence of glucose and proteins and also measure the pH of their urine. A color chart for each of these determinations is attached to the container. At the present time, these are the diagnostic aids most frequently sold by pharmacists to physicians and patients. The community and hospital pharmacist should be aware of the various trade products and their uses, so that they are able to give professional advice when requested.
