Fully automated Urine Flow Cytometers from Sysmex

Routine urine sediment analysis typically involves a number of manual steps including centrifugation, re-suspension, microscopy and finally manual documentation of the results. These numerous steps can make the process time consuming, laborious and at risk for transcription errors.

Sysmex India is happy to introduce its fully automated urine flow cytometers, UF-1000i and UF-500i which employ high performance, laser-based Fluorescence Flow Cytometry (FCM) that give reliable, quantitative results. These systems can reportedly improve laboratory turnaround time and offer a worry-free urinalysis tool that can be totally relied upon.

FCM is a Sysmex core competence. It has been employed in their X-class haematology analysers and the company swears by its accuracy and reliability. The analysers also offer value added clinical information of UTI, red cell morphology, and conductivity and is able to accurately detect RBC, WBC, epithelial cells, casts, bacteria, crystals, yeasts and sperm in urine sample by using three different scatters:

• Forward scattered light-information on cell size
• Side scattered light- information on internal cell structure
• Side fluorescence light- information on RNA /DNA contents.

UF series from Sysmex also offer excellent capabilities for the best differentiation and quantification of urine particles. It provides standardisation in urinalysis that complies with ISLH guidelines by analysing un-centrifuged native urine sample.
