Urinalysis
Portable, on-the-spot testing
Urine diagnostics for a wide range of medical conditions
Urinalysis provides essential insights into various bodily functions and is routinely performed as a basic screening test for nearly all patients. It begins with the use of urine strips followed by urine microscopy to investigate abnormal findings in greater detail. These findings may indicate conditions such as urinary tract infections, diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, kidney and bladder stones, kidney and bladder cancer, or liver diseases.
Urine test strip analysis
Urine dipstick tests detect the presence of waste chemicals in urine. They offer a quick identification of analytes like glucose, proteins, ketones, pH, bilirubin, nitrites, leukocytes or blood. The respective results provide information on metabolic and systemic conditions.
Urine microscopy: manual vs. AI-based particle analysis
This method identifies and counts the formed particles, such as cells, crystals, casts, bacteria, and other particle. Urine particle analysis ideally should be performed on native urine, immediately after sampling, to avoid the loss of cells or changes in particles over time or due to preparation steps.
The results of manual microscopy, depend on the sample preparation steps (centrifugation, sediment sampling) and user operator skills. When using HumaVision with artificial intelligence (AI) and Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM), urine particle analysis becomes objective and fast. By utilizing native urine, sample preparation steps become obsolete.
“duces the risk of human error but also saves time and ensures digital documentation and storage of results,
improving accuracy and traceability.”

Digital holographic microscopy revolutionizes urine diagnostics
In Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM), light passing through a sample is partially diffracted based, while some remains unaffected. The interaction between diffracted and non-diffracted light forms a hologram, which is digitally reconstructed to reveal details about elements such as blood cells, crystals, or casts within the sample.
Particle classification is performed by advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. DHM leverages 3D cell size, 3D cell shape and a 13 times bigger field-of-view than manual microscopy. As a result, the analysis is significantly more accurate.
Urine particles quantified by artificial intelligence (AI)
Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) technology enables the quantification of urine-formed elements,
analyzing hundreds of cells and particles within a 3D volume with high accuracy.
Intuitive 2-step workflow – up to 80% faster than manual microscopy
Pipette 20 µl of native urine into the sample carrier;
centrifugation is not required.
Insert the sample carrier into the HumaVision
