UriSponge™ is Copan’s advanced sponge device for urine collection and preservation. It was designed with a sponge at its core, conceived to rapidly, easily, and safely absorb the correct amount of urine and streamline sample processing in the lab, whether manual or automated.  

Now, Copan unveils a new UriSponge™, with the same convenience and ease of use but with an advanced preservative formula free of boric acid. Boric acid is inserted into the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) for Authorization of the REACH Regulation due to its toxicity for reproduction.

Plus, the new UriSponge™ preservative formulation has outstanding viability preservation performance and full compliance with CLSI M40-A2 and IVDR standards. 

The new UriSponge™ is immediately available*.
