UriSed 2

The Full Picture in Urinalysis

The UriSed 2 is a fully automated sediment analyzer providing whole viewfield microscopic images of urine sediment and detecting 16 sediment particles using UriSed Cuvettes. This instrument belongs to the “Facelift” generation of the UriSed technology. Its operation is based on the same patented measurement technique, which is the automation of traditional manual microscopy. UriSed 2 performs sample preparation, takes bright-field images of each sample through its built-in microscope and evaluates them using the AIEM (Auto Image Evaluation Module) which is high quality image processing software. Like its former model, UriSed 2 offers a reliable and standardized method for urine sedimentation.

The UriSed 2 microscopic urine sediment analyzer is a stand-alone instrument which can be connected to the LabUMat 2 urine strip reader. Together, the two instruments make a Complete Urine Laboratory System

• Up to 120 tests/hour throughput
• Fully automated sample preparation
• Whole viewfield microscopic images of sediment
• Automatic sample identification and classification of urine particles
• Subclasses can also be detected manually
• Manual microscopy mode: Real-time view of any viewfield of the cuvette to see moving microorganisms as well
• Automated QC analysis and self-check
• Low sample volume
• Cost-effective operation without any special liquid reagents
• User friendly and flexible software which can be updated via USB stick
• Streamlined documentation by LIS connectivity
• UriSed 2 has a reproducible method for the preparation and evaluation of urine samples, which is based on the automation of traditional manual process.
• As each sample is observed in a separate chamber (cuvette), there is no carry over between different samples.
• UriSed 2 does not need any special reagent material for the operation; cuvettes are the only consumables.
• UriSed 2 provides whole viewfield images – like HPF images in routine manual microscopy – in a fully automated way.
• Images are evaluated automatically and reliably.
• These high quality clear and sharp images are stored in a database; in that way human evaluation is also possible at any time after the measurement on screen without manual microscopic investigation.
• UriSed 2 can be used to educate laboratory staff since images can be seen on full screen.
