Read your test strip

This tool gives a presumptive, preliminary reading of your test strip from a photo. It is not cleared or approved by the FDA, is not a medical device, and does not provide a diagnosis. Results may be wrong because of lighting, camera quality, timing or strip handling. Do not use this reading for medical, legal or employment decisions. Always follow the instructions supplied with your test. Any positive result must be confirmed by a laboratory test.

Lay the strip flat on a dark or mid-tone surface — not on white paper or a white counter.

Let's try that photo again

We couldn't read this photo with confidence, so we won't guess. Lay the strip flat on a dark or mid-tone surface, hold steady, and make sure the whole result window is inside the frame.
