Abstract:
1. A method, intended for use in analyzing particles in urine, comprising: distributing a urine sample into a first aliquot and a second aliquot; preparing a first specimen by mixing the first aliquot and a first stain reagent; preparing a second specimen by mixing the second aliquot and a second stain reagent which is different from the first stain reagent; irradiating light to the first specimen, and detecting first scattered light and first fluorescence emitted from the first specimen; irradiating light to the second specimen, and detecting second scattered light and second fluorescence emitted from the second specimen; measuring particles in urine, the particles containing at least erythrocytes, based on the first scattered light and the first fluorescence detected from the one or more specimen; and measuring bacteria in urine, based on the second scattered light and the second fluorescence detected from the second specimen.
