Copan UriSwab is an advanced system for collection, transport and
preservation of urine specimens from the collection site to the testing
laboratory. In the laboratory, UriSwab specimens are processed for the
cultivation of bacteria and Candida albicans, as well as for molecular
testing.
Easy to use
Dip into sample cup,
insert the sponge into the tube, close and send it to the lab for analysis. No
needles needed, no additional costs for disposal.
Preservatives for optimal performance
Boric Acid and Sodium Formate, polymerised into the sponge are activated
on contact with urine. No risk of overgrowth or overkilling during transport.
Safe, shatterproof polypropylene skirted tube
The internal conical shape enables centrifugation of samples and allows
tubes to stand upright on the laboratory bench. No leakage guaranteed.
Viability of bacteria
at refrigerated and room temperature conditions for
up to 48 hours
Suitable for traditional culture, as well as for preservation of nucleic acids
