Fully automatic urine analyzer DxU Iris

integrated systemhigh-throughputwith barcode reader

Overview
The DxU Iris Workcell is a scalable, fully automated urinalysis solution that integrates DxU 840/850 urine microscopy analyzers with the DxU 810c urine chemistry analyzer. Digital Flow Morphology with Auto-Particle Recognition (APR) standardizes particle classification and reduces routine manual microscopy. The system includes Edit-Free Release (EFR) automation and iWARE urinalysis software for validation, verification and LIS interfacing.

Key benefits

• Automated screening and APR reduce manual microscopic reviews to under 3%.
• Edit-Free Release and Auto-run after loading minimize operator interventions.
• Scalable workcell configurations improve throughput and sample handling for high-volume laboratories.
• Remote monitoring and an intuitive software UI support efficient operator workflows.

Workflow and sample management
The Workcell automates urine particle isolation, identification and on-screen characterization to enable verification workflows instead of routine manual microscopy. Features include improved aspiration/cleaning modules (iQclear), an optional load/unload station to expand capacity (adds 14 racks to total 20 racks / 200 samples), and support for body fluids analysis via an optional module.

Product variants

• C69227 - DxU Iris 850/840 Workcell Install Kit INT
• C81661 - Install Kit, DxU Iris 850/840 Workcell US
• C68940 - DxU 850 Workcell INT with Load/Unload Kit
• C68941 - DxU 850 Workcell US with Load/Unload Kit

Standardization of particle classification
APR classifies particles by size, shape, contrast and structure. Automatic classification covers 12 primary urine sediment particle classes and 27 sub-classifications, improving confidence and turnaround time compared with manual microscopy.
