Urine tests are performed by using an off-the-shelf reference sheet to compare the color of test strips. However, tabular representation is difficult use and more prone visual errors, especially when color-swatches be compared spatially apart. Thus, making it distinguish between subtle differences shades on reagent pads. This manuscript represents a new arrangement arrays for urine strips (urinalysis). Reference swatches grouped in doughnut chart, surrounding each pad strip. The can...
