The screening of more than 2,000 schoolgirls for bacteriuria using an automated fluorescence microscopy system
Urological Research
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
After initial evaluation of a manual fluorescence microscopy system on a variety of urines the method was automated and subsequently tested in a population survey of urinary tract infection in schoolgirls. This automated Bactoscan system allowed a rapid analysis of urine samples and with the introduction of modifications to the staining protocol it correctly eliminated 91% of samples as being not significantly infected.
