All
The DxU Microscopy Series is available as either a stand-alone urine microscopy instrument or it can connect to the AUTION MAX™ AX-4030 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.
Reduce Manual Reviews
The DxU Microscopy Series streamlines urinalysis workflow with significantly lower manual microscopic review rate of 4%.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
Confidence in Results
APR Software evaluates the size, shape, contrast and texture of the urine particles and evaluates each digital image to identify and classify the urine particles into one of 12 primary categories. The operator has the option to further subclassify particles into 27 additional categories. This offers easy identification of the urine sediment and quick verification of particle presence reduces the need for microscopy to identify and confirm presence of a category flag or scatterplot. The primary particle categories include:
Auto-release Results
Edit-Free Release technology allows the laboratory to auto-verify true positive urines and true negative urines based on release settings they set up. This feature converts the analyzer into a walkaway unit.
Increase Uptime and Improve Productivity
iWARE Integrated Urinalysis Software solution, standard on the urinalysis analyzer, combines 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.
Optimize Rinse Routine
The DxU Iris introduces the iQclear, an enhanced cleaning aspiration module that helps with additional cleaning of the sample probe.
