Copan Self-UriSponge™ is intended for collecting, transporting, and preserving urine specimens and is suitable for the DNA amplification of Bacteria, Chlamydiae, Protozoa, Mycoplasmas and viruses – such as human papillomavirus (HPV) – responsible for sexually transmitted infections (STI).
Once the urine sample has been collected, the tube allows its transport from the collection site to the medical laboratory. In the laboratory, the sample can be analyzed with molecular biology techniques.
Preservation: The performance you need!
Thanks to preservatives onto the applicator sponge, the Self-UriSponge™ device sustains the transport and preservation of DNA of Viruses, Bacteria, Chlamydiae, Protozoa, and Mycoplasmas for up to 1 week at room temperature (20-25°C) and up to 3 weeks at refrigerated temperature (2-8°C). Self-UriSponge™ is able to collect and maintain HPV viral DNA, with a good correlation correlation
between the time of sample collection and stability time-points.
UniVerse® | Flexible and open solution for molecular testing sample preparation
With UniVerse®, you can automate sample preparation for molecular testing: tube decapping and recapping, vortexing, spinning, barcode identification, and liquid transfer to secondary tubes or 96-well plates.
UniVerse® handles indiscriminately diferent tube sizes and diferent shaft types without requiring to remove the swab from the tube. With its four diferent operational modes, UniVerse® integrates impeccably into your lab’s workflow through a 2-way LIS exchang
