Urine Analyzers

The urine analyzer range

This page covers urine analyzers, bench instruments that read urine test strips. The company's category page names two urine analyzer models: URA-101 and URA-102. Of those, only URA-102 has a specification table on the company's website whose page title and body agree, and only URA-102 has a dedicated specification page on this site. URA-101 is a directory listing from the category page; no specification table for it is published here, and the URA-102 specification must not be read as applying to it.

Urine analyzers are used with urine test strips, which have their own category page on this site. Analyzer buyers usually ask about test parameters, throughput, memory, data output, operating conditions and power requirements. For URA-102, those figures are published on its specification page. For URA-101, they must be confirmed in writing.

URA-102 at a glance

The URA-102 specification page reproduces the model's specification table exactly as listed: test parameters LEU, NIT, URO, PRO, PH, BLD, SG, VC, KET, BIL, GLU, MALB, CRE and CAL; data memory of 1000 test results; English, Chinese or OEM language; photoelectric colorimetry as the test principle; a data communication interface baud rate of 9600bps; an environment condition of 0–40 degrees Celsius with relative humidity under 85%; power of AC 220V, 50–60Hz, at most 60W; a net weight of 4 kilograms; and a size of 355 x 300 x 145 mm. The highlights listed on the company's detail page include continuous throughput of more than 120 strips per hour, a built-in thermal printer, and 1000 tests.

Those figures are URA-102 figures only. A buyer comparing analyzers should not transfer any of them to URA-101 or to any other analyzer.

Ordering notes

For URA-101, specifications, strip compatibility, packing and availability must be confirmed in writing. The company FAQ states that prices vary with supply and market factors, that international orders are subject to an ongoing minimum order requirement with no fixed figure published, that samples take about 7 days, and that mass production takes 20–30 days after deposit. Certificates are available upon request.

Bench analyzers versus strip tests

Urine analyzers are bench instruments, larger and more capable than handheld meters, and they sit between strip tests and central laboratory analysis. A visual strip test is read by the user. For URA-102, the company's listed highlights include a built-in thermal printer, and its specification lists storage for 1000 test results. Confirm URA-101's functions separately in writing. The URA-102 specification page lists data memory of 1000 test results and a built-in thermal printer, which are the two features that most distinguish an analyzer from a visual strip test in day-to-day use.

For buyers serving clinics and small laboratories, the analyzer's throughput matters: the URA-102 highlights list continuous throughput of more than 120 strips per hour. That figure is the company's listed highlight for URA-102 only, and it should not be transferred to URA-101 or to any other analyzer.

Choosing between URA-101 and URA-102

A buyer choosing between URA-101 and URA-102 faces an information asymmetry: URA-102 has a full published specification on this site, while URA-101 has only a directory listing. That asymmetry should not be read as a quality judgement about either model; it is a statement about what the company's own material publishes. The practical response is to ask for URA-101's specification in writing and compare the two models on confirmed figures rather than on published versus unpublished evidence.
