This invention relates to a urine sample analyzer for the highly precise detection of red blood cells, white blood cells, non-squamous epithelial cells, bacteria, and other formed elements in the urine.

Focusing on the observations that particle diameters of formed elements in urine differ by type of substance, and that the quantities of nucleic acid also differ, this invention uses amplification factor fluorescent signals to match the quantity of nucleic acid of various formed elements in urine to detect these elements to a high degree of precision, even if their shapes differ.

This invention enables the classification of detected non-squamous epithelial cells in renal tubular epithelial cells originating in kidney and urinary tract epithelial cells in the bladder, allowing a patient to be directed at an early stage to the appropriate clinical department. In addition to these formed elements, this invention enables the provision of detection information suggesting atypical cells that can lead to the early detection of bladder cancer.

In addition to the special award, this invention also received the 'Invention Implementation Achievement Award,' which is given to the representatives of companies recognized for their outstanding achievements in practical applications.
