METHOD FOR ANALYZING ATYPICAL CELLS IN URINE, URINE ANALYZER, AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING ATYPICAL CELLS IN BODY FLUID

摘要

Disclosed is a method for analyzing atypical cells in urine including: mixing urine, a diluent containing a surfactant, and a nucleic acid staining reagent to prepare a measurement specimen; irradiating the measurement specimen with light to detect scattered light and fluorescence light emitted from cells whose nucleic acids are stained; and detecting atypical cells contained in the measurement specimen distinguishably from white blood cells depending on a first characteristic parameter based on the scattered light and a second characteristic parameter based on the fluorescence light.
