Automated urine sediment analyzer A whole new way of seeing Developed to supply high quality images of urine sediment particles, both in bright field and phase contrast microscopy

Getting the full picture for better results sediMAX conTRUST PRO is the new A.Menarini Diagnostics urine sediment analyzer of the sediMAX series which offers a fully automated approach for the preparation and evaluation of urine samples. This new generation instrument combines bright field (BF) and phase contrast (PC) microscopy to capture high quality images in one optical system, leading to accurate results. The built-in digital camera takes and saves both BF and PC images with a dual focusing technique. Fifteen different images are acquired for each sample using both methods and evaluated...

Automated urine sediment analyzer Sharpness down to the to the smallest detail Improved recognition and accuracy. Compared to BF microscopy, PC technology provides improved detection of particles and their morphological details, with increased recognition rates. More particles detected. The new instrument can identify: • Acanthocytes (RBC-Aca), representing the most reliable marker today for hematuria of glomerular origin (Figure 1, see next page) when they are ≥5% of the total RBC count. • Ghost red blood cells (RBC-Ghost), which easily escape detection with BF microscopy due to their low hemoglobin...
