Product overviewsediMAX LITE is a professional semi-automated urine microscopy analyzer that acquires whole-field microscopic images of urine sediment and automatically classifies and counts sediment particles. The system applies the traditional gold-standard microscopy approach while removing the most time-consuming and operator-dependent steps of manual microscopy, and can be used as a backup to fully automated sediment analyzers.
Analyzable samples- Urine
- Cerebrospinal fluid (liquor)
- Ascitic fluid
- Pleural fluid
- Pericardial fluid
- Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)*
Notes*Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
