Today’s laboratories require reliable solutions that reduce manual review and standardize high‑throughput workflows. The DxU 1800 System automated urinalysis instrumentation streamlines operations by reducing manual microscopic review rates to less than 3%.*1 This high-throughput solution optimizes staff utilization, saves significant time, and reduces costs—enabling laboratories to increase testing capacity, enhance clinical utility, and improve overall workflow efficiency.
The DxU 1800 System streamlines urinalysis workflow with a lower manual microscopic review rate. This is achieved with proprietary Digital Flow Morphology technology and APR Software, which deliver standardized results through automated particle recognition, reducing total sample processing time compared to manual microscopy.2
Robust APR Software evaluates particles by size, shape, contrast and texture. It auto-classifies 12 urine sediment particles and sub-classifies 27 particles, resulting in high level of confidence by delivering accurate identification of particles and achieving shortened turnaround time.
Automating most urine sediment reviews allows laboratory professionals to walk away from the urine analyzer so they can focus on more critical areas of the laboratory. Edit-Free Release (EFR) technology automatically sends results to the LIS based on user-defined parameters, reducing time-consuming steps and increasing lab efficiency. EFR works together with APR Software and Particle Verification Ranges (PVRs) to enhance auto-release options.
iWARE Integrated Urinalysis Software solution, standard on the analyzer, provides onboard validation and result verification into a single step without the need for middleware. The software helps laboratories become more efficient by reducing time-consuming steps.‡1
