what test strips does it take?

This meter is no longer supported so it may be hard to get the correct test strip. I see on Amazon (currently) that you can purchase Contour test strips, which should work. I would buy the Contour NEXT meter to be used with Contour Next strips. The NEXT model has worked out many of the links in the earlier model. I am new to this so it was a little confusing. Even the control test solution is meter-specific. Just buy CONTOUR NEXT and call it a day. Or, buy the old model and trade it in with Bayer.

This looks like old contour USB so they will NOT have the word next on then. New model has next on machine and strips

The "Sidekick" comes with 50 strips. The package says the tester will only work on the strips you get. The one I bought included a testing solution so you can verify the accuracy.

The test strips have terrible accuracy, mine read 1000ppm off from the Taylor test kit from amazon, taylor salt I think, very accurate and around $20. Good luck!

It comes with a small amount. It does not come with a full supply and like any other tester, you buy strips separately. If I remember correctly, there were about 15 strips.

Lancets are used to puncture the skin, so you will get a small amount of blood for the test strip

Mine had one test strip only. If that is the way it's supposed to come, you'll need to buy additional test strips with your kit.

Your best bet would be to contact the reagent supplier and try to acquire the MSDS for each chemical. If they are the same, they will work. This is a great test kit. It takes me about 5 minutes to run a detailed water test, eliminates the guess work that comes with using strips.

There are approximately 10 test strips and one "barrel" of 6 lancets. You will need to order test strips and lancets right away.

This Meter takes a certain Test strip. They list them here on Amazon . The Lancets you can see here http://www.amazon.com/Accu-Chek-Softclix-Lancets-100-ea/dp/B0000532GY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1389834786&sr;=8-1&keywords;=accu+chek+compact+Lancets....they are cheap and work well.I stopped using this Meter due to the Test strips being hard to find and expensive, plus the dates run out and you can not use them in the Meter anymore. You can buy a box and before you can use them all they expire and the Meter will not allow use of them. Just so you know.

It was so long ago I cannot remember if any test strips came with but there was a small lancet device that fits in an elastic band around the vial to hold it with the meter. Veryconvenient.

Yes and a few strips and I think a test liquid to calibrate. that I am not sure on. But it has the lancing device. . If I remember it was a small one and I didn't like it and used an old one but I am not sure. Buy it.. it is fine.

There should be a meter which is pictured on the box. I think one disk that has 10 test strips and the tester and some lancets that go in the tester.

No strips, just the testing vials and drops. I use it to verify strip accuracy.

I can't remember if it came with strips. If it did, it was only a few strips. It is a great tester, so order the strips for it too. Glenn

There were 2 cartridges. My kit did not include the test strips. I ordered extra lancets since I would need them as there would only be 12 times you can check with the 2 cartridges, I believe. I also ordered test strips. My battery died the second time I used it, but Amazon was awesome and sent me out overnight, so I was able to use my monitor the next day. Now all is good. It works great and I have plenty of supplies.

You need blood strips just like any other blood monitor. You pick your finger add blood to the strip you have put into the monitor. Same an any thohter meter.
