Siemens Clinitek Status+ Urinalysis Analyzer for Quick and Reliable Results

by Jeremy Linder Lab Equipment Supplier

The Siemens Clinitek Status+ Urinalysis Analyzer features patented strip technology and provides reliable test results in about one minute.

A valuable diagnostic tool, urinalysis analyzers facilitate clinical urine tests in hospitals, medical laboratories and other healthcare facilities. Manually evaluating and recording results can be a time-consuming task for busy laboratories. Today, automated analyzers are used for high-volume urine testing to track occult blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, PH, leukocyte, glucose, ketone, protein, and so on. Advanced urinalysis systems with high-end features and superior capabilities are available in leading lab equipment stores. The Siemens Clinitek Status + Analyzer comes with an intuitive touch-screen operation and provides reliable test results in about one minute.

This premium quality urinalysis analyzer comes with patented strip technology that enables automatic checks (auto-checks). This advanced feature ensures consistent results interpretation with automatic timing and reading of every urine specimen. Each test strip is automatically checked for humidity exposure, common sample interferences and strip identification to prevent reporting of falsely elevated results. A printed note is made of any potentially compromised results. Auto checks improve data integrity.

The device provides fast in-office test results in about 1 minute. The task of manual evaluation and recording results are eliminated with features such as –

* Automatic printed report

* Auto-identification of test strips

* Barcode reading capability

The analyzer offers a comprehensive point-of-care urinalysis menu for routine testing, hCG pregnancy testing and detection of early kidney disease.
