CKD is a disease characterized by a progressive decrease in kidney function and proteinuria. It may develop into kidney failure requiring the start of dialysis and well as being a comorbidity with cardio-vascular disease. It is estimated that there are a total of 13.3 million*2 adult patients in Japan (1 in 8 of the population over 20 years of age) with this and it has become a national disease problem. For the effective treatment of CKD, early detection is vital and one way to achieve this is regular urine testing (qualitative urine testing*3). Measurement of protein and micro-albumin in urine plays an important role in screening and qualitative urine testing for CKD. User needs continue to grow in this area.
The AUTION MAX AX-4060, due to go on sale from ARKRAY, is a fully-automatic urine analyzer which maintains the same high level of core performance as in previous generations of the device and meets the needs of the testing field through new function additions. Adoption of a color touch panel offers the user increased operability while useability is improved with a mode allowing measurement with just 1mL of sample. In addition the fully-automated measurement of protein and micro-albumin in urine offers qualitative test results useful in the early detection of CKD.
In 1972, ARKRAY was the first company to achieve full automation of urine testing. Since then and over the past 40 years ARKRAY has continued to offer up fully-automatic and qualitative test devices as well as test strips and test data management systems to the market. ARKRAY will continue to offer novel solutions and support testing facilties.

•Proteinuria and micro-albuminuria measurement for the early detection of CKD
Enabling high-precision screening for kidney disease.
•Fully-automatic and high-performance measurement with high-level of data processing
Easy measurement: just set the urine sample and press the start key to begin.
The system will store data from up to 2,700 measurements which can then be output easily as needed.
•Drop method' for high-precision measurement of low volume urine samples
Urine sample is aspired through the nozzle and a set volume of it is then applied to each test strip allowing easy measurement even with small volume samples (minimum of 2mL).
There is a micro-volume mode that lets you measure with even smaller volumes- half that of standard measurements (1mL).
•Color touch panel with great operability
The system comes with a 7 inch color operation panel and offers information in Japanese about measurement results, device status and operation method.
