The cobas u 411 Urine Analyzer is a semi-automated benchtop device specifically designed to efficiently handle workloads of 30 to 100 urine samples per day. It is an optimal solution for laboratories seeking convenience, speed, and accuracy in urine analysis. The cobas u 411 system stands out with its fast and efficient processing capabilities. The instrument can automatically read test strips with a cycle time of only six seconds, allowing for high sample throughput and rapid processing.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Proven Combur Test Strip Technology:
  • Uses high-quality Combur10 Test M strips with 11 test pads, providing results for 11 parameters, including color.
  • Notably, this technology features a unique mesh architecture and resistance to Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that can cause false-negative results for tests like hemoglobin or glucose. The iodine mesh in Combur strips helps oxidize ascorbic acid, thereby minimizing interference and ensuring more accurate results.
  • Absorbent layers on the strip absorb excess urine, preventing color reactions from spreading between pads, minimizing system contamination, and eliminating the need for manual excess urine removal.
• Consolidated Results and Comprehensive Reporting:
  • The instrument allows for consolidation of test strip results and microscopic analysis through an integrated sediment data terminal. This improves data flow, workflow efficiency, and provides a clearer view of patient records.
  • The system offers customizable reports with a single printout for test strip and microscopic analysis results. An integrated thermal printer allows for real-time reporting of results and printing of Quality Control (QC) results.
• Simple and User-Friendly Operation:
  • The instrument has an intuitive LCD touchscreen (90 x 120 mm) and easy-to-operate common function buttons.
  • Allows for flexible sample identification through an optional barcode scanner or manual entry. Supports common barcode types like Code 39, Code 128, NW 7 (Codabar), ITF.
  • The device has a large memory, storing up to 1,000 sample results and 300 control results (3 levels).
• Optimized Design for Laboratories:
  • Compact dimensions (Width: 42.5 cm, Depth: 34.0 cm, Height: 26.0 cm; Weight approximately 12 kg) suitable for benchtop placement.
  • Has an integrated waste container.
