bioMérieux to Distribute Sysmex’s UF-1000i Fully Automated
Urinalysis System
Sysmex Corporation and bioMérieux signed an agreement making bioMérieux Sysmex’s global partner for distributing its UF-1000i urinalysis system in microbiology laboratories.
Current urinary screening methods, mainly based on microscope cell numeration, are still very manual, time-consuming and a source of errors. Sysmex developed the fluorescence flow cytometry UF-1000i urinalysis system, a highly standardized and automated solution.
Smart Technology
UF-1000i is a fully automated, urinary screening system that bases its objective analysis on both physical and chemical particle properties. It uses:
Advanced flow cytometry technology with hydrodynamic focusing
Specific fluorescent dyes for bacteria and sediment
Three high-definition, reproducible measurement signals: size, structure and fluorescence
High-Quality, Standardized Results
Accurate detection and enumeration of urine particles (two separate analysis channels for bacteria and sediment)
Reduced cross-contamination with anti-carryover function and sequential analysis mode
New second channel for improved bacteria detection
Barcode reader identification of samples and reagents
Daily Quality Control performed for all the main parameters (high and low positive controls)
Easy to Interpret
Easy-to-read, color-coded scattergrams and clear-cut numeric values for a concise overview
User-definable flagging of all the parameters for rapid result assessment
Rule-based flagging of UTI information to facilitate reporting positive results
Time-Saving
Simply Load & Go
Minimum hands-on time –
Maximum workflow efficiency
Results in approximately one minute
Continuous loading function for immediate processing of samples or series testing with up
to 50 positions
Bi-directional connection to LIS
The UF-1000i urinalysis system complements a complete range of fully automated solutions for the microbiology bench, with recent innovations such as the PREVI™ Color Gram and the Previ™ Isola for
PPM streaking.
