The modular way of urinalysis
With the Sysmex UN-Series, you can automate your lab’s urinalysis work area according to your workflow preferences. With modular components to mix and match, you can tailor a complete solution that is scalable to your current and future needs, providing a perfect fit and a secure investment.
Get to know our workflow components
Introducing the many components that could become part of your individual urinalysis workflow solution. When all are used together, they offer fully automated laboratory urinalysis.
Ideal workflow, from start to finish: TH-11 and U-WAM
Our optional TH-11 Urine Sample Decapper Unit and our U-WAM software form the “bookends” of a completely automated workflow. The TH-11 steps in seamlessly from the point of sample entry and can open all common urine tubes on the market. This minimizes the time you spend on sample handling. Meanwhile, our U-WAM software conveniently handles the data and sample management, providing you with an optimal overview of your workflow. Add the rest of our components and the process becomes simple: just load your sample tubes on the TH-11 and walk away until it is time to validate the results on the U-WAM.
For smaller workloads: UC-1000 and UF-1500
The UC-1000, our semi-automated chemistry analyser, is ideal for a lower sample volume and available as an integrated or stand-alone model. It can also be used as a back-up solution. If you would like a solution for smaller workloads that is still fully automated, our UF-1500 Fully Automated Urine Particle Analyser is 30% smaller than our flagship UF-5000 model but just as impressive. With proven fluorescence flow cytometry technology, the UF-1500 provides reliable, standardised results at a throughput of up to 60 samples an hour while reducing time-consuming manual steps.
Combine and customize to design your ideal urinalysis work area
Take only what you need
Use the whole product line for a complete urinalysis workflow or choose only the parts that are optimal for your desired workflow.
Maximum automation and centralised data handling
Whatever your selection, the whole process is highly automated, and you get all the results on one screen, with all data centralised in a single workstation.
Explore our customization options
- Choose between full line or stand-alone.
- Use test strip analysis first or start directly with urine flow cytometry.
An automation solution that keeps pace with your lab
Whichever UN-Series configuration you start with, you can flexibly up- or downscale it at any time – for example if the workload increases, order profiles change, or you need to split your solution. This means your urinalysis work area automation will always adapt to your lab’s demands.
Up to nine modules can be connected in one fully automated line. To handle more sample tubes at a time, you can also add entry and exit modules to load more racks on the system. All configurations are available as benchtop models or with wagons.
Total lab automation with the world’s first bi-directional urinalysis connection
Change the way of urinalysis by connecting your UN-Series to the Inpeco FlexLab™ automation. The modular and flexible concept enables a solution tailored to your individual workflow.
Featuring fully automated bi-directional workflow, Inpeco FlexLab™ keeps manual urine sample tasks to a minimum. You can connect up to five UN-Series analysers to the Inpeco track, letting you load and unload samples with a throughput of up to 350 samples/hour.
Microbiology lab
Run your incoming samples initially on the UF-5000/4000 to find out whether samples are positive or negative for bacteriuria. Using a UF in your microbiology lab allows you to rapidly identify negative samples and proceed immediately with the UTI-positive ones. Using the additional Gram info from the UF, you can select specific culture media for incubating the positive samples and check possible treatment options.
With this workflow, you can save a lot of time as initial results become available within minutes instead of days. This means you can start treatment earlier and more targeted, and know at once when you can go without treatment.
For visualisation and archiving of all cell types you wish to see, for instance for education purposes, you can add a UD-10 digital imaging device as an option to your UF.
Biochemistry lab
Start processing your urine samples with fast screening by the UC-3500, using test strips that include both creatinine and microalbumin tests. Based on the results of the test strip, the data manager U-WAM decides by rule settings which samples need to undergo sediment analysis.
This happens fully automatically. With up to 27 parameters, particle analysis by the UF is very comprehensive, covering all pathological particle types and differentiating the relevant ones. If more investigation of certain particles is requested, you can perform manual sediment for those samples or opt for a UD-10, fully automating your urinalysis right through.
