Urine automated chain in Catlab

Publication Date : 21/01/2017
The first automated chain of urine samples of the state has been launched in Catlab Central Laboratori.

During June 2016 we began the start-up in the Central Laboratory of Viladecavalls of an automated chain of urine. It is composed by a P512 sample distributor connected to the Computer System, that separates the urine samples according to the requested tests(urine strip, culture, biochemistry, drugs, ...). The P512 is connected to 2 COBAS U601 / U701 analyzers that perform basic urine and sediment. Therefore, the samples with urine strip passed directly to the analyzer, and if it is appropriate, the urine sediment will be made or separated for culture.
