Selling Precision Xtra ketone test strips
Ketone strips are not glucose strips. They are a different test, they measure a different thing, and they are boxed and counted differently. If you have arrived here from a general test strip page, check the box in front of you before quoting it — the word ketone will be printed on it.
What these strips actually measure
A Precision Xtra ketone strip measures blood ketones — beta-hydroxybutyrate — rather than blood sugar. They are used to check for the ketone build-up that can precede diabetic ketoacidosis, which is why people on insulin are told to keep a supply on hand for sick days. They are also used by people tracking nutritional ketosis, which is a second, entirely separate source of demand.
That combination is why unused ketone strips are worth selling rather than discarding. They are a small, unglamorous box that a lot of households have sitting unopened because the emergency they were bought for never happened.
The 10 count box
Ketone strips ship in boxes of 10, not 50 or 100. That is normal for this product and it is not a partial box — 10 is the full retail count. If your box says 10 and looks suspiciously small compared to a glucose strip box, it is complete.
The strips inside are individually foil-wrapped, which is another point of difference from glucose strips in a vial. All ten wrappers should be present and intact.
Condition and shelf life
The box needs to be factory sealed and unopened, with no writing on it, no torn label residue, no water staining and no crushing. Because the strips are individually foil-wrapped, a box that has been opened and had strips removed cannot be made whole again and cannot be quoted.
Expiration matters here as much as anywhere. We describe our requirement in months of remaining shelf life rather than a fixed calendar date, because the windows we buy in change from time to time. The listing above is always current — read the requirement there and compare it to the date printed on your box.
Selling them
Ketone strips are frequently part of a larger pile rather than a sale on their own, and there is no problem with that — quote them alongside your glucose strips, meters and lancets in one shipment. Send photos, we confirm identification and dates before anything moves, we cover the shipping, and payment goes out within one business day of the box arriving and being checked.
