Test Overview
- Macroscopic: CLINITEK Novus 10 Urinalysis Cassette (automated) or Chemstrip 10 ( manual).
- Microscopic: Sysmex UF-5000 flow cytometer with UD-10 digital imaging (automated) or manual microscopy
Screening test for abnormalities of urine or renal function.
Urinalysis Reference Ranges are available online at http://www.pathology.med.umich.edu/handbook/Tables/UA.pdf.
* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.
Macroscopic analysis for blood using the automated CLINITEK Novus 10 Urinalysis Cassette detects only free hemoglobin and not intact Red Blood Cells. Negative macroscopic blood results may be reported when intact Red Blood Cells are seen on microscopic exam.

Specimen Requirements
Collect random clean catch midstream urine specimen and send in sterile plastic urine container or transfer to Light Yellow top UA tube AND Vacutainer® Urine C&S Transport kit. Refrigerate and send specimens within 24 hours of collection; specimens may be stored at room temperature if received within 2 hours of collection.
Gray top tubes and Vacutainer® tubes with red and yellow swirl tops will be accepted for manual analysis only. They cannot be analyzed on UN-3000 urinalysis system.
Specimens received in improper containers.
Specimens received at room temperature greater than 2 hours from time of collection.
Specimens received refrigerated greater than 24 hours from time of collection.
Unlabeled or mislabeled specimens.
Specimens in containers with preservatives.
Specimens in containers with disinfectant or detergents.
</ul>
See special handling for urines received in gray or red and yellow swirl top tubes.
Additional Information
Microscopic exam will be performed at an additional charge only on specimens that are positive for one or more of the following analytes: leukocyte esterase, nitrite, blood, hemoglobin, glucose, ketones, or protein. Call the laboratory at 936-6866 to speak with a Medical Laboratory Scientist about adding microscopic exam to urinalysis.
