Urinalysis solutions that automate and optimize workflows for reliable testing
Solution
An integrated approach to urinalysis lab testing that empowers healthcare professionals and their patients
Roche urinalysis core lab solutions provide an integrated approach to urinalysis testing, standardizing and optimizing laboratory workflows to provide accurate, reliable, and fast results for patients.
Our automated analyzers minimize ‘hands-on’ time and manual intervention for laboratory staff:
- The cobas® u 411 urine analyzer is a semi-automated benchtop instrument that optimizes performance and data flow management.
- cobas® u 701 microscopy analyzer is the gold standard in urine sediment analysis and automates all manual steps minimizing operator intervention and increasing lab efficiency.
- cobas® u 601 urine analyzer uses proven quality strips (designed with unique Combur-Test® net-sealing technology) and new generation of photometer technology, providing reliable and confident results.
- Due to its modular design, the stand-alone cobas u 601 urine analyzer can be upgraded on-site with the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer to a urine work area - cobas® 6500 urine analyzer series - one platform with automated sample transportation through the entire system.
With navify® Lab Operations, seamlessly unify your urinalysis lab by consolidating microscopy images into one central platform to perform validation and assessment.
Value
Streamlined solutions to optimize urinalysis testing
With the integrated modular platform design of our analyzers you can build a solution to suit your lab, and with solutions for low to high throughput labs, we have the right solution for every workload.
Urinalysis core lab solutions accelerate testing and streamline your urinalysis lab by consolidating microscopy images from multiple systems across the lab onto a central navify® lab operations platform. This helps you to maintain oversight of result validation and optimize workflows.
