The 500 Urine Analyzer is a semi-automatic urinalysis instrument that reads reagent strips photometrically and reports a full multi-parameter urine profile. It is built for routine urine screening in hospital clinical laboratories, clinics and outpatient departments where a dependable bench-top reader is needed at moderate throughput.
Technical specifications
- Model: 500 Urine Analyzer
- Type: semi-automatic urinalysis reagent strip reader
- Throughput: 120 tests per hour or 60 tests per hour (selectable)
- Light source: high-luminance white LED, long life and high stability
- Printer: built-in high-speed thermal printer
- Data input: supports an external barcode scanner
- Testing parameters: LEU, NIT, URO, PRO, pH, BLD, SG, KET, BIL, GLU, VC, MA, CRE and CA
Common platform features across the range
All models in the range share the same photometric reading principle for urinalysis reagent strips, the same parameter panel and the same reagent chemistry, so results are comparable whichever model in the series is used. The reagent strips are consumables for these analyzers and are ordered separately from the instrument.
Available testing parameters across the range: LEU, NIT, URO, PRO, pH, BLD, SG, KET, BIL, GLU, VC, MA, CRE and CA.
Featured combination panels: UTI, ACR and Vaginal pH.
Standards and certifications
FDA 510(k) cleared and CLIA waived reagent strips. Analyzers manufactured under an ISO 13485 certified quality management system for in-vitro diagnostic medical devices.
Intended use and applications
The instrument is intended for in-vitro diagnostic screening of urine using compatible urinalysis reagent strips. Typical settings are hospital clinical laboratories, central and satellite laboratories, outpatient clinics, community health centres and general practice surgeries performing routine urinalysis.
Why choose this model
The selectable dual throughput rate lets a laboratory match reading speed to workload: 60 tests per hour for quieter benches and 120 tests per hour when specimen volume peaks. The high-luminance white LED light source gives stable, repeatable reflectance readings over a long service life, which reduces both drift and lamp replacement. The built-in high-speed thermal printer produces a hard-copy result directly at the instrument, and external barcode scanner support speeds up specimen identification and cuts transcription errors.
Operation and maintenance
The analyzer is operated from its keypad and integrated display, with results printed on the internal thermal printer. Keep the strip transport and reading window free of residue by following the routine cleaning schedule, and use only compatible urinalysis reagent strips. The instrument is supplied with a 12-month warranty excluding consumables.
Warranty: 12 months, excluding consumables.
