Urinalysis Automation Flashcards
What is the ultimate goal of urinalysis automation?
Increase reproducibility and color discrimination while increasing productivity and standardization for reporting of urinalysis results.
True or False
Correct color readings depend on the precision of the timing.
False (it depends on the accuracy)
What spectrophotometric measurement uses the principle that light reflection?
Reflectance photometry
Identify the type of automated instrument.
- still depend on an operator for specimen mixing, test strip dipping, and microscopic results input
Semi-automated urine chemistry analyzer
Identify the type of automated instrument.
- ability to load many samples on a carousel or rack at one time with the capability to insert a STAT specimen during the run.
Fully automated urine chemistry analyzer
Identify the type of automated instrument.
- mix, aspirate, dilute, and stain urine to classify urine sediment particles
Automated urine cell analyzer
Identify the type of automated instrument.
- perform a complete urinalysis that includes the physical, chemical, and microscopic parts of a routine urinalysis
Automated urine system
Identify the type of automated instrument.
