[QUOTE="cugila, post: 137328, member: 15325"] Not sure as my tub doesn't have a grey colour. One suggestion is are they out of date......have they been stored properly ? Another suggestion is that it wasn't used as per instructions and that maybe it had been left too long before comparing the colour. On Ketostix brand (Bayer) strips you have to match the colour at exactly 15[b] SECONDS[/b], then the colour will gradually change after the comparison has been made as it gradually degrades, but I honestly can't remember what colour the strip eventually ends up as ......... :?: I have conducted a test myself and found that the colour after [b]fifteen minutes[/b] was almost the same as at 15 seconds. Maybe a phone call to the manufacturers if they are in date and you did everything right would explain what the problem, if any, is. The things we do in the name of Forum Research............ :oops: :wink: :lol: Ken [/QUOTE]
