URINE ANALYZER, AUTOMATED - ERBA

The Erba Mannheim LAURA XL is a fully automated urine analyzer that combines urine strip chemistry and digital sediment microscopy in one integrated system. It automates sample processing, particle identification, image analysis, and result reporting—helping laboratories reduce manual microscopy, improve workflow consistency, and handle increasing urinalysis volumes efficiently.

With throughput of up to 125 combined chemistry-and-sediment tests per hour, flexible operating modes, automatic identification of 24 urine sediment particle categories, active humidity protection, and LIS connectivity, the LAURA XL is ideal for hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and high-volume healthcare facilities seeking reliable and cost-efficient urinalysis automation.

• Complete urinalysis in one system
  Combines urine chemistry and sediment analysis, reducing the need for separate analyzers and fragmented workflows.
• Less manual microscopy
  Automated digital microscopy captures and classifies sediment particles, allowing medical technologists to focus their review on flagged or clinically significant samples.
• Faster laboratory turnaround
  Processes up to 125 combined tests per hour, helping laboratories manage routine and peak-hour workloads.
• More standardized sediment evaluation
  Automated image analysis helps reduce the subjectivity and operator-to-operator variation associated with conventional manual microscopy.
• Automatic identification of 24 sediment categories
  Supports comprehensive recognition and classification of commonly encountered urine particles, with manual marking available for additional preset categories.
• Flexible operation for changing workloads
  Choose from three modes: chemistry only, sediment only, or combined chemistry and sediment analysis.
• Protects urine strips from humidity
  Active humidity protection helps preserve strip performance and reduce the risk of unreliable reactions caused by humid laboratory conditions—especially relevant in tropical environments.
• Reduces hands-on workload
  Automated sample handling, analysis, image evaluation, result management, and programmed maintenance minimize repetitive manual steps.
• Efficient sample management
  Accommodates primary tubes and microtubes, supporting routine laboratory samples and smaller-volume specimens.
• Improved traceability and reporting
  Barcode support, image-based results, extensive result storage, and LIS connectivity help reduce transcription errors and simplify result retrieval.
• Lower operating costs
  Reusable cuvettes and integrated chemistry-and-sediment testing may reduce consumable use, manual labor, and dependence on separate instruments.
• Compact integrated workstation
  The analyzer, digital microscopy system, and computer are combined into one platform, helping conserve laboratory workspace.
