title: Automated methods in urinalysis.
abstract: Automation has been an integral part of clinical laboratory testing for many years. In most moderate, or large laboratory settings, it is common to have a piece of equipment available to automate at least some, if not all portions of the urinalysis (UA). Examples range from the simple hand-held refractometer for the measurement of specific gravity, to a very sophisticated floor model instrument that performs the entire assay.
