1. Flexibility
Workstation design can be customized
to further improve urinalysis work
flow. You choose the uf autosampler
configuration that complements your
automated chemistry strip reader. The
uf gives you the flexibility to create
the complete workstation that best fits
your laboratory’s needs. The sysmex
uf-Series is the automation alternative
that provides fast efficient testing,
your way.

Urinalysis is one of the highest volume
and least automated testing areas in
the clinical laboratory. The uf-Series
fully automated urine cell analyzers
bring simplicity, efficiency and flexibility
to this labor intensive test.
Simplicity
Operation of the uf is simple and
familiar, just like many other
automated systems in the laboratory.
Simply load tubes onto the sampler
and press Start. Then walk away. The
analysis is automatic and completely
unattended. You return to final results.
Fully Automated Urine Cell Analyzers
Efficiency Made Simple
Efficiency
Now, final urinalysis results are available
in about a minute. Samples with
significant pathological formed
elements are automatically identified
with a series of flags. The efficiency
of the uf-Series analyzers frees
technologists from the repetitive, time-
consuming task of visually identifying
urinary formed elements. Automated,
immediate analysis improves work
flow resulting in faster turn around
time of critical patient results.

3. Proficiency
The intuitive menu-driven operation
facilitates training and technologists
quickly become proficient with the
analyzer. Only 3 reagents are used,
packaged in configurations that mini-
mize reagent changes. Autovalidation
criteria can be set by the user in
order to select conditions for output
to a printer or the host computer
speeding the release of final results
to physicians.
The uf-Series fully automated urine
cell analyzers, providing results you
can count on, with confidence.
Reliability
The uf-Series analyzers are designed
for low maintenance and high
reliability. A few simple, quick
maintenance procedures keep the
uf running smoothly, reducing
interruptions in laboratory service.
The uf-Series has one of the highest
uptimes of any clinical analyzer on
the market. But when you do need
them, the sysmex team of technology
experts is available to provide you
with outstanding service and support.
The uf-Series analyzers are designed
for efficient unattended operation.
sysmex builds into every analyzer the
systems that enable you to automati-
cally analyze critical patient
samples with complete assurance.
Confidence
The integrated quality control program
offers reliable system monitoring.
uf check, a stable tri-level control
from sysmex, gives you the assurance
of optimal analytical performance.
You can verify system performance
at a glance using the on-board,
advanced graphical QC displays for
confidence in analyzer performance.
Numerical and graphical results comple-
ment each other to achieve maximum
standardization in analysis and report-
ing. Numerical results are displayed
and printed. Stored data can be
displayed, edited, printed or transmit-
ted to the Host computer at any time.
Standardized, high quality results
are available on any specimen
and reporting of critical results is
accelerated.
Using advanced, laser-based fluores-
cent flow cytometry, the uf brings
unparalleled sensitivity and standard-
ization to urinalysis. Measurement of
fluorescence and forward scatter
of light are both used for urine cell
counting and classification. Urinary
formed elements are stained with two
fluorescent dyes specific for nucleic
acids and membranes. As these
par-ticles, hydrodynamically focused
in a sheath flow, pass an argon laser
beam, laser light is scattered and the
particles emit fluorescent light.
Automatic and Objective
Each formed element has a distinctive
fluorescent staining pattern based
on the formed element’s internal com-
position. Light is scattered depending
on the formed element’s size. The
scattered and fluorescent light signals
are detected separately and are
transformed into electrical signals.
These signals form the basis for
completely automatic, objective
classification of all 10 formed element
groups by cluster analysis.
