Beckman Coulter introduces DxU 1800 System for fully automated urinalysis
Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, a Danaher company, recently announced the U.S. launch of the DxU 1800 System, a fully automated urinalysis solution that combines a new chemistry analyzer and consumables with proven microscopy technology.
The system was unveiled at the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM) Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, and is designed to help laboratories deliver standardized results at scale, enabling clinicians to move from testing to decision making with confidence.
As part of Beckman Coulter Diagnostics' connected ecosystem, the DxU 1800 System combines the new DxU 1800c Chemistry analyzer with a DxU Iris Microscopy analyzer to deliver a fully automated, integrated urinalysis platform. Together, these technologies unify chemical analysis and particle imaging within a single high throughput system, helping laboratories scale operations with greater consistency and control.
The integrated solution reduces manual handoffs and enables more standardized workflows across chemistry and microscopy.
As a standalone, the DxU 1800c Chemistry analyzer can process up to 300 samples per hour, supports expansive result storage of up to 2,000,000 samples and 100,000 strip images, and displays onscreen strip image results for easy review.
Additionally, an expanded chemistry menu is planned to include creatinine and microalbumin assays may provide additional kidney function insight as part of routine screening testing without requiring changes to existing laboratory workflow.
