Automation Flashcards
Light reflection from the test pads decreases in proportion to the intensity of the color produced by the concentration of the test substance
Reflectance Photometry
In reflectance spectrophotometry this provides a specific wavelength needed for each test pad color reaction
Light-emitting diode
Two types of technology for urine sediment analysis
Flow cytometry & Digital imaging techniques
This microscopy analyzer uses digital flow morphology (imaging) and auto particle recognition
iQ200 Automated Urine Microscopy Analyzer (IRIS)
The IRIS machine can classify urine particles into how many categories
12 categories
(RBC, WBC, WBC clumps, sqamous epithelial cells, nonsquamous epithelial cells, unclassified casts, hyaline casts, unclassified crystals, bacteria, yeast , mucus, sperm)
iQ200 allow users to subclassify particles into how many more additional categories
27
This automated urine analyzer uses Laser-based Flow Cytometry
Sysmex UF
This stain is used in automated urine analysis. It is an orange dye that stains DNA
Phenathridine
Sysmex UF series classifies sediments into
10 formed element group
This is a green dye that stains nuclear membranes, mitochondria, and negatively charged cell membranes
Carbocyanine
Was the first automated instrument with an FDA-approved automated CSF assay
ADVIA 120
This has built upon ADVIA 120 technology and is also used for CSF assay as well as for counting lamellar bodies in amniotic fluid
ADVIA 2120
Newest generation hematology analyzer that includes a dedicated body fluid mode that is cleared for analysis of synovial fluid, pleural fluid, and peritoneal fluid
Sysmex XN-Series Analyzer
This automates sperm counts and motility
SQA-V
SQA-V has a 2 channel measurement system, what are these for?
One channel measures light absorption and refraction in sperm cells and translates this into concentration
One channel counts light interruptions caused by sperm cells moving across the field of light
