Article Abstract
Background: The study of urine particles plays a key role in the diagnosis of kidney diseases. In this study, the authors evaluated the correlation between the UF-1000i and quantitative manual microscopy.
Methods: A total of 214 untreated urine samples were studied using the Sysmex UF-1000i and compared with results obtained from quantitative manual microscopy using the Fuchs-Rosenthal counting chamber.
Results: Using Pearson statistics, we observed satisfactory correlation between the UF-1000i and quantitative microscopy: for red blood cells (RBCs) r was 0.98, for white blood cells (WBCs) r was 1.00, for epithelial cells (EC) r was 0.96, and for casts r was 0.69. Using linear regression statistics, we also observed satisfactory correlation between the UF-1000i and quantitative microscopy: for RBCs R(2) was 0.95, for WBCs R(2) was 0.99, for EC R(2) was 0.92, and for casts R(2) was 0.48.
Conclusions: In our experience, automated urine particle analysis performed using the Sysmex UF-1000i analyzer is sufficiently precise and improves the workflow in a routine laboratory. Precision was satisfactory and concordance with the reference method is good for RBC, WBC and EC; for casts microscopic observation is required for flagged samples to discriminate hyaline from pathologic casts.

Relationship between conventional culture and flow cytometry for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection.

Background: Urine culture is the gold standard for the diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTI). The use of flow cytometry analyzers (FCA) prior to culture allows for the quantification and recognition of cell components in urine to be automated and makes it possible to relate these data to the urine pathogens subsequently identified in cultures.
Methods: Urine samples were assessed with the Sysmex UF-1000i analyzer.
Automated Cerebrospinal Fluid Cell Counts Using the New Body Fluid Mode of Sysmex UF-1000i.

Background: We evaluated the new body fluid module on Sysmex UF1000-i (UF1000i-BF) for analysis of white blood cell (WBC) and red blood cell (RBC) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Methods: WBC and RBC counting were compared between UF1000i-BF and Fuchs-Rosenthal counting chamber in 67 CSF samples. This study also included the evaluation of between-day precision, limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), functional sensitivity (limit of quantitation, LoQ), carryover and linearity.
Background: We evaluated the new body fluid mode on the UF-1000i urinalysis analyzer for counting total white blood cells (WBC) and red blood cells (RBC) in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), ascites and pleural fluids.
Methods: We collected 154 body fluid samples, and compared the results of the UF-1000i BF mode with the Fuchs-Rosenthal counting chamber and the XN-1000 BF mode. Linearity, carry over and precision were also assessed.
Rapid discrimination of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in liquid samples by using NaOH-sodium dodecyl sulfate solution and flow cytometry.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to develop a quick method to differentiate between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in liquid samples for accurate UTI diagnosis and treatment.
- The researchers used a NaOH-SDS solution to test the different responses of bacteria based on their cell wall structures, finding that gram-negative bacteria like E. coli were easily lysed, while gram-positive bacteria like Enterococcus faecalis were not.
- The optimized method allowed for this distinction to be made in just 10 minutes, potentially aiding in faster and more effective treatment decisions for UTI patients.
