A comparison of automated urine analyzers cobas 6500 UN 3000-111b and iRICELL 3000 with manual microscopic urinalysis

摘要

Microscopic examination is essential in urine analysis. This is a simple way to collect informative data but it is also labor-intensive, time-consuming, and requires experienced staff for accurate results and interpretation. Several automated urine analyzers have been introduced for urine analysis in medical laboratories. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the performance of the most common three automated urine analyzers, Cobas 6500, UN3000-111b and iRICELL 3000.
