Uses laser-based flow cytometry that measures forward light scatter, side scatter, fluorescence staining characteristics, and adaptive cluster analysis to identify stained urine sediment particles 4 mL of uncentrifuged urine is aspirated Resulting values are presented in quantitative cells per microliter and cells per high- or low-powered field. Thresholds to be flagged for primary elements can be established and abnormal results are flagged for confirmatory review The UF-1000i can be used independently or integrated with an automated urine chemistry strip reader to create a complete urinalysis system
