Automated Urine Test Strip Analyzer

The Urine Analyzer Plus Semi-Automated (CL-500) is a high-throughput, semi-automated urine test strip analyzer designed for large-volume clinical laboratories, hospital settings, public health screening programs, and high-volume point-of-care facilities . Using LED reflectance photometry at 550nm, 620nm, and 720nm wavelengths, the analyzer measures up to 14 urinary parameters with a throughput of 550 strips per hour and a test time of 65 seconds .

The analyzer features automatic strip feeding for continuous loading without operator intervention, built-in onboard waste collection, and open system compatibility accepting standard urine test strips. The microprocessor-based system stores 5,000 test results with multilingual support (English, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian), offers comprehensive connectivity (bidirectional LIS, RS-232, USB, WiFi), and includes a built-in thermal printer .

Measured parameters include leukocytes, ketone, nitrite, protein, glucose, blood, calcium, ascorbic acid, urobilinogen, bilirubin, specific gravity, microalbumin, pH, and creatinine—enabling comprehensive urinalysis for UTI diagnosis, diabetes screening, preeclampsia detection, and chronic kidney disease monitoring .

For the clinical laboratory scientist and public health program manager, the CL-500 Plus enables high-volume UTI diagnosis (550 tests/hour), population-based diabetes screening, proteinuria surveillance in large antenatal services, CKD monitoring for hypertension and diabetes programs, and integrated public health reporting via bidirectional LIS connectivity. For the patient, high-throughput urinalysis enables early detection of urinary tract infections (preventing pyelonephritis and urosepsis), timely diagnosis of diabetes and preeclampsia (reducing complications), and early identification of chronic kidney disease (preserving renal function)—particularly in large-scale screening programs where efficient testing is essential for population health impact .
