title: Automated urine screening devices make urine sediment microscopy in diagnostic laboratories economically viable.
abstract: Automated urinalysis devices are reproducible, accurate and faster than the standard manual microscopy. Economic analysis has shown that decreases in turn-around-time and labour cost savings offered by these devices make them more economic than manual microscopy.
