Whether it is confirming the analyzer's findings or identifying unique particle types, manual microscopic reviews are time-consuming and can take up to six times longer per sample than with an automated system 4.Īutomating the routine urinalysis workflow with the DxU Iris Workcell reduces sample subjectivity and variability, helping laboratories of all sizes standardize processes, drive faster turnaround time and deliver quality results. Many of these samples require a lab technician to perform a manual inspection, which causes workflow disruption and a substantial increase in workload. A routine urinalysis is one the most frequently ordered tests, representing up to 30% of all samples received in the lab 3.
