Beckman Coulter DxU Iris Workcell

Take the Interruptions Out of Your Urinalysis Workflow

The DxU Iris Workcell pairs the DxU 850m Iris or DxU 840m Iris urine microscopy analyser with the DxU 810c Iris urine chemistry analyser to create a scalable, fully-automated urinalysis solution. Using proprietary Digital Flow Morphology technology with Auto-Particle Recognition (APR) Software, the DxU Iris Workcell helps to isolate, identify and characterize particles on the screen to virtually eliminate the need for manual microscopy.

Urinalysis workflow in your lab

Manual microscopic review interrupts laboratory workflow and can increase sample testing by as much as 6x.² The DxU Iris Workcell streamlines urinalysis workflow with a significantly lower manual microscopic review rate. This is achieved with proprietary Digital Flow Morphology technology with APR Software which delivers standardized results using artificial intelligence to recognize particles, reducing total sample processing time compared to manual microscopy3.

 

 

Standardize Particle Classification

Robust APR Software evaluates particles by size, shape, contrast and texture. It auto-classifies 12 urine sediment particles and sub-classifies 27 particles, resulting in high level of confidence by delivering accurate identification of particles and achieving shortened turnaround time.

Minimize Operator Intervention

Automating most urine sediment reviews allows laboratory professionals to walk away from the urine analyzer so they can focus on more critical areas of the laboratory. Edit-Free Release (EFR) technology automatically sends results to the LIS based on user-defined parameters, reducing time-consuming steps and increasing lab efficiency. EFR works together with APR Software and Particle Verification Ranges (PVRs) to enhance auto-release options.

Increase Uptime and Improve Productivity

iWARE Integrated Urinalysis Software solution, standard on the analyzer, provides onboard validation and result verification into a single step without the need for middleware. The software helps laboratories become more efficient by reducing time-consuming steps.

Managing Urine Samples

• Optimize Rinse Routine: The DxU Iris introduces the iQclear, an enhanced cleaning aspiration module that helps with additional cleaning of the sample probe
• Increase Sample Load Capability: An optional load and unload station that increases your capacity by another 14 racks, for a total of 20 racks or 200 samples, ideal for high-volume labs

Automate Body Fluids Analysis

The DxU Micrscopy Series provides a standardized, fully automated method for the analyses of RBC count and nucleated cell count in cerebrospinal, synovial and serous fluids. Digital Flow Morphology technology isolates particles in body fluids to provide immediate, accurate and reproducible results that can be verified on the screen.
