The sample preparation workflow is very similar, but there are a few very important differences. Both traditional and Vetscan Imagyst sample preparation involve centrifugation of the urine sample, pouring off supernatant, resuspending remaining pellet and placing a drop of urine sediment on a slide.
There are two main differences:
a. Standardization of sample preparation and evaluation: There is often little standardization with the traditional urine sediment sample preparation and evaluation. With the Vetscan Imagyst sample preparation, starting volume, residual volume and the amount of urine sediment placed on the slide will all be standardized. In addition, the sample will be evaluated in exactly the same way, every single time, by an algorithm that does not get tired at the end of the day.
b. The technician is able to perform other tasks while the Vetscan Imagyst AI Urine Sediment application is evaluating the sample.
