The Master Science Automatic Urine Strip Analyzer runs urine dry chemistry without an operator standing by: it feeds racks, aspirates and drops sample onto the strip, reads the colour change and prints the report. Speed is 240 strips per hour, one every 15 seconds.
Twelve parameters are measured by the photoelectric colorimetric method. A high-precision dropping system puts the right sample volume on each pad and keeps the work table clean, and an IC card system corrects for differences between strip batches.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This Analyzer Helps
How the Master Science Automatic Urine Strip Analyzer improves urine testing:
- Manual strip dipping and timing: fully automatic process.
- Uneven wetting of strip pads: metered sample dropping.
- Spills on the bench: controlled sampling reduces contamination.
- Strip lot variation: IC card correction.
