Quidel Corporation has launched its new state-of-the-art urinalysis instrument, the UrinQuick Urine Chemistry Analyzer at the American Association for Clinical Chemistry's (AACC) 54th Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo.

Urinalysis testing has never been so easy as it is now with UrinQuick's advanced software capabilities and its newly patented transport and optic systems. Extremely user-friendly screens guide the laboratory personnel through every aspect of operation including a first in instruments of this class, a full on-board quality control program. The addition of the UrinQuick Urine Chemistry Analyzer expands Quidel's popular QuickVue line of high-quality, easy-to-use, point-of-care diagnostic products and marks the company's entry into the instrumentation market.

"Quidel's Urine Chemistry Analyzer is designed to be an easy and intuitive urinalysis instrument, allowing for high efficiency and cost-effectiveness," said Bill Elliott, executive vice president for Quidel. "The UrinQuick Urine Chemistry Analyzer is intended to offer the industry the ability to be more productive and efficient, which will in turn lead to lower operational costs."

The UrinQuick analyzer follows Quidel's August 2000 launch of QuickVue UrinChek urine test strips. Laboratorians can now analyze entire batches of urines easier and less expensively to detect the presence of ten important health markers that assist in the diagnosis of diabetes, liver and kidney disease, urinary tract infections and other ailments.
