The UMY-920A Fully Automatic Feces Analyzer streamlines stool examination in clinical laboratories and diagnostic centers. It brings automated sample preparation, digital microscopic imaging, formed-element analysis, reagent-card testing and result reporting together in a single workflow.
Automated Stool Testing for Clinical Laboratories
Routine stool examination involves sample preparation, microscopy and documentation of findings. The UMY-920A automates liquid handling, sample mixing and digital image acquisition, helping laboratory staff carry out a more consistent testing workflow.
Designed for human stool specimens, the analyzer supports qualitative and semi-quantitative examination of formed elements such as red blood cells, white blood cells and parasite eggs. Compatible reagent cards also support selected assays, including fecal occult blood. Qualified laboratory personnel review the findings alongside clinical information and other test results.
Key Features
Automated specimen preparation
The system automatically adds diluent, stirs, mixes and filters specimens before transferring prepared sample liquid for examination. The sampling needle is cleaned after dispensing.
Microscopic image capture and formed-element review
Digital microscopy combines automatic positioning, focusing and image capture with software-assisted identification and counting of formed elements. Images and results can be reviewed by laboratory personnel.
Reagent-card testing within the workflow
A built-in reagent-card system handles dispensing, incubation and image capture during selected assays. The available test menu is determined by the compatible reagent cards and assay setup.
Digital reports and image records
The software brings patient information, sample images and test results into one interface for review, searching, storage and report printing.
Laboratory information system connectivity
The system supports laboratory information system (LIS) communication over Ethernet using the HL7 protocol, allowing result exchange within a compatible laboratory IT environment.
How the Analysis Workflow Operates
- Specimen loading: Stool is collected in a dedicated sample vial and loaded into a sample rack.
- Automated preparation: the system dispenses diluent, mixes and filters the sample, and transfers prepared liquid for examination.
- Microscopic analysis: the imaging system focuses and captures specimen images for software-assisted classification and counting.
- Reagent-card analysis: prepared sample liquid is dispensed onto the selected reagent cards for the relevant assays.
- Review and reporting: laboratory personnel review results and images, then save, print or transmit reports through the configured system.
Testing steps and reagent-card selection are managed through the analyzer software.
