1.3 Testing Principle
URSA-100 urine analyzer adopts the principle of opto-electronic color comparison to test the quantity of
biochemical component according to the color change caused by the urinalysis strips react with the
biochemical components in urine.
The instrument uses four kinds of monochromatic light to scan the reagent areas one after another, and
the scanning system converts the optical signal to electric signal. After treatment, the reflection rate of
the reagent area can be calculated according to the strength of the electric signal. The amount of the
biochemical component in the urine sample can be calculated according to the reflective rate. Optics
system principle is as follows.

Tm  Cr
R
Tr  Cm

In the principle:
R ----- The reflection rate.
Tr ----- The reflected intensity of the blocks on the strips under the reference light.
Cr ----- The reflected intensity of the blank block under the reference light.
Tm ----- The reflected intensity of the blocks on the strips under the predetermined light.
Cm -----The reflected intensity of the blank block under the predetermined light.
