Supporting improved efficiency in urine testing operations
- New release of desktop urine dispensing system -

ARKRAY, Inc. shall release the fully automated urine dispensing system AUTION DISPENSER UD-9440 on Thursday, May 26, 2016. It is a desktop urine dispensing and transportation system which shall support the improved efficiency in urine testing operations in test centers and general hospitals.

The AUTION DISPENSER UD-9440, which shall be released by ARKRAY, Inc. (hereafter 'ARKRAY'), is a desktop urine dispensing and transportation system.

By simply reading the urine cup's barcode and setting the cup into the transportation unit, sample agitation, dispensing into a spitz sample tube and labeling is all carried out automatically. Furthermore, the system connects to the fully automated urine analyzer MAX AX-4060 for transportation, allowing for sample analysis to start automatically. Additionally, it is also possible to adjust the amount of sample dispensed into spitz tubes and the number of tubes as needed, based on the requirements of the requested test.

Although currently there are a significant number of manual processes involved in urinalysis, this system shall serve to cut down the volume of cumbersome operations and improve efficiency in urine testing. At the same time, since the auto-labeling function can prevent samples from getting mixed up, the system shall also contribute toward reducing the risk of medical accidents.

Since successfully developing the world's first automated urine analysis system in 1972, ARKRAY has provided fully automated qualitative urine analyzers, urine test strips and test data management systems to the market for more than 40 years. Moving forward, ARKRAY shall continue to develop products with high added value in the urine testing field, and contribute to the improved efficiency of urine testing.

Terminology

* Qualitative urine testing

With qualitative urine testing conditions such as proteinuria, urinary sugar and occult blood are measured.
