Automatic Urine Analysis Workstation - Urine Chemistry and Sediment Analyzer - 120 Samples/Hour

The Master Science Urine Analysis Workstation joins a urine dry chemistry analyzer and a urine formed-element (sediment) analyzer into one line, so strip chemistry and microscopic examination are completed in a single pass without manual handling of samples.

The sediment module images cells in a four-channel flow cell and classifies them with image recognition at 120 samples per hour, while the chemistry module reads 12 strip parameters at 240 strips per hour. A combined, illustrated report brings both sets of results together.
