Copan Diagnostics Announces FDA Clearance for Innovative Urine Collection Device

The solution offers clinical laboratories and healthcare providers a user-friendly, reliable, and cost-effective way to improve urine specimen collection, preservation, and transport.

Unique System for Urine Specimen Preservation

Urine samples constitute nearly 70% of specimens processed annually in clinical laboratories. Urine specimens are collected and processed to cultivate uropathogenic bacteria and yeasts. UriSponge® enables urine transfer from sterile container to tube using a quick dip-and-close method reducing steps and improving workflow.

The system features a screw-cap tube with a plastic applicator and sponges loaded with preservatives. Upon contact with urine, these preservatives maintain sample stability during transport, providing dependable results and minimizing the risk of contamination or degradation. The unique design ensures accurate sample preservation without requiring precise fill lines or additional mixing, reducing complexity and the use of extra consumables.

UriSponge® is designed with advanced preservatives to ensure specimen integrity, offering an alternative to traditional methods that require stringent handling protocols.
