A urine test that compares the weight of urine to that of distilled water is?
Specific gravity (SG) is a measurement of the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine. The test compares the density of urine against the density of distilled water, which has an SG of 1.000. Because urine is a solution of minerals, salts, and compounds dissolved in water, the SG is a measure of the density of the dissolved chemicals in the specimen. As a measurement of specimen density, SG is influenced by both the number of particles present and the size of the particles. Osmolality is a more exact measurement and may be needed in certain circumstances. The range of urine SG depends on the state of hydration and varies with urine volume and the load of solids to be excreted under standardized conditions; when fluid intake is restricted or increased, SG measures the concentrating and diluting functions of the kidney. Loss of these functions is an indication of renal dysfunction. http://faculty.washington.edu/alexbert/MEDEX/Spring/TS3UA.htm
Multistix 10 SG?
NOT SURE WHAT THE QUESTION IS, BUT A MULTISTIX 10 SG I FOR CHEMICAL URINALYSIS. IT TEST THE URINE FOR WBC, RBC, NITRITE, KETONES, BILIRUBIN, PROTEIN, PH,CANT REMEMBER THE REST ANDE THE SG IS FOR THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY

How does freezing urine affect specific gravity?
Decrease, you are making the specific gravity closer to that of water.
