| Description | ARKRAY AUTION Bridge is composed of AUTION Eye AI-4510 urine sediment analyzer and the AUTION Max AX-4060 urine chemistry analyzer. The AUTION Bridge provides natural color images, multiple focal depths, one screen for chemistry + sediment results with crosscheck, on-board Atlas training, and automatic dilution. | The DxU 1800 System combines advanced urine chemistry and digital flow morphology microscopy with FDA-cleared body fluid analysis on a single platform. Integrated iWARE technology enables edit-free automated result verification and release based on laboratory-defined criteria, helping reduce manual review and standardize reporting. With onboard strip image capture for visual result confirmation and continuous sample loading capabilities that support uninterrupted workflow, the DxU 1800 System delivers a unique combination of clinical insight, workflow efficiency, and confidence from specimen to result. | The DxU Iris 840 and DxU Iris 850 Workcell streamlines urinalysis workflow to achieve manual review rates of 4%; auto-classifies 12 urine particles and sub-classifies 27 urine particles based on size, shape, contrast, and texture to provide digital images for all samples. FDA-cleared body fluids module with linearity down to zero. | Urinalysis system offering 20 chemistry parameters and 50 sediment elements. Its standout innovation combines imaging flow cytometry, instant 3-sec dual-dye staining for true-color images, and AI-assisted classification (including atypical cells) with high throughput (563 T/H chemistry / 130 T/H sediment). | Lightweight benchtop footprint tailored for small labs & clinics (45 tests/hr). It uses Chemstrip test strips that have vitamin c interference technology embedded in each reagent pad. | The AUA-450 is the only FDA-registered and classified moderate-complexity analyzer for quantitative urinalysis using the AutoUA 12 urine analytes on the market. Published peer-reviewed studies have shown that the AUA-450, in conjunction with the AutoUA®, is significantly more accurate, precise, and sensitive for urinalysis. | Combines urine chemistry, fluorescence flow cytometry, and digital image analysis for rapid urine screening. BeyondCare Quality Monitor for Urinalysis provides a streamlined and automated QC experience. Reagent cassette format with RFID that provides complete traceability and 14-day onboard stability. Digital color camera that takes images of the full light spectrum. |
