DxU Microscopy Series Urine Microscopy Analyzer

Description

Streamline urinalysis workflow with standardized results and walkaway technology
The DxU Iris Microscopy Series automated urine microscopy analyzer includes the DxU 840m Iris, with a throughput of 70 samples per hour or the DxU 850m Iris, with a throughput of 101 samples per hour. The instruments deliver faster turnaround times and accurately standardizes results by reducing manual intervention.

The DxU Microscopy Series is available as either a standalone urine microscopy instrument or it can connect to the DxU 810c Iris urine chemistry instrument to form the fully automated DxU Iris Workcell urinalysis system. Using proprietary Digital Flow Morphology technology with Auto-Particle Recognition (APR) Software, the DxU Microscopy Series helps to isolate, identify and characterize digital images of particles on the screen to virtually eliminate the need for manual microscopy.

Reviews
The DxU Iris Workcell automated urinalysis solution streamlines workflow by reducing manual microscopic review rates to less than 3%.1* This is achieved using proprietary Digital Flow Morphology technology with APR Software to capture digital images of particles in the urine or in body fluids. Leveraging this technology reduces total sample processing time up to 78% compared to manual microscopy.2†
