Copan UriSponge™ - Urine Collection, Transport, and Preservation System is intended for the collection, transport and preservation of urine specimens from the collection site to the testing laboratory. In the laboratory, UriSponge™ specimens are processed using standard clinical laboratory operating procedures for the cultivation of uropathogenic bacteria and yeasts.

Copan's UriSponge™ - Urine Collection. Transport, and Preservation System UriSponge™ consists of screw cap self-standing plastic tube with conical shaped bottom. Inside the tube, the cap holds a plastic stick with sponges made of hydrophilic polyurethane. The sponges include preservative substances (Sodium Propionate, and Potassium Sorbate). Two sizes of product are available: the regular tube size (100 mm length X 16 mm diameter) plastic tube and the mini tube size (80 mm length x 12 mm diameter) plastic tube.

Copan Universal Transport Medium (UTM-RT) System is intended for the collection and transport of clinical specimen containing viruses, chlamydiae, mycoplasma or ureaplasma from the to the testing laboratory. UTM-RT can be processed using standard clinical laboratory operating procedures for viral, chlamydial, mycoplasma and ureaplasma culture. UTM-RT is intended for the stabilization and transportation of an unprocessed upper respiratory clinical specimen suspected of containing respiratory viruses' nucleic acids. UTM-RT is intended for use with compatible molecular assays.

Copan Universal Transport Medium (UTM-RT®) System is composed of a tube with 3mL of UTM-RT® transport medium, which may be supplied in bulk or as a kit with a sterile specimen collection flocked swab. UTM-RT® medium is designed to maintain viability of viruses, chlamydiae, mycoplasma or ureaplasma during transport from the collection site to the testing laboratory for subsequent culture and to maintain the integrity of respiratory viruses' nucleic acids for testing with a compatible molecular assay.

The Copan FecalSwab Collection, Transport and Preservation System is intended for collection of viable enteric pathogenic bacteria from rectal swabs and stool specimens during transport from the collection site to the testing laboratory. In the laboratory, FecalSwab specimens are processed using standard clinical laboratory operating procedures for culture. Stool specimens collected with the Copan FecalSwab are also suitable for use with the BD MAX Enteric Bacterial Panel and the BD MAX Extended Enteric Bacterial Panel.

The FecalSwab Collection. Transport and Preservation System (Copan FecalSwab) is supplied in a collection kit format. Each collection kit consists of a package containing a plastic tube filled with 2 mL of FecalSwab transport and preservation medium and a specimen collection flocked swab intended both for rectal and stool specimen collection. In the laboratory, rectal and stool specimen are processed using standard clinical laboratory operating procedures for culture. The FecalSwab transport and preservation medium is a maintenance medium comprised of: Chloride salts, Sodium salts, Phosphate buffer, L-Cysteine and Agar. The medium is designed to maintain the viability of enteric pathogenic bacteria during transit to the testing laboratory The Copan FecalSwab Collection. Transport and Preservation System was previously cleared (K142094) for the collection of rectal swab and fecal specimens and to preserve the viability of enteric pathogenic bacteria during transport from the collection site to the testing laboratory. In the laboratory, FecalSwab specimen are intended be processed using standard clinical laboratory operating procedures for culture but is not cleared for use with downstream molecular assays. The FecalSwab has been demonstrated to be suitable for testing samples with the BD MAX Enteric Bacterial Panel (EBP) and BD MAX Extended Bacterial Panel (xEBP).

Copan eNAT- molecular collection and preservation medium- is intended for the stabilization, transportation and inactivation of an unprocessed upper respiratory clinical specimen suspected of containing influenza A virus RNA. eNAT- molecular collection and preservation medium- is intended for use with compatible molecular assays.

The primary purpose of nucleic acids amplification techniques is to screen for a wide range of infectious diseases, so nucleic acid integrity of clinical specimens during transport and storage should be preserved. eNAT® medium contains a detergent and a protein denaturant to prevent microbial proliferation and to maintains the integrity of the nucleic acids from cells or pathogens collected from patients and inactivates pathogen viability, thus eNAT® is not intended to be used for culture-based techniques. Copan eNAT® has 3 different configurations: Ref. 6U072S: a plastic screw-cap tube filled with 2 ml of Molecular Preservation and Transport medium. Ref. 6U073S01: a plastic screw-cap tube filled with 2 ml of Molecular Preservation and Transport medium and a regular size tip nylon flocked swab for sample collection. Ref. 6U074S01: a plastic screw-cap tube filled with 2 ml of Molecular Preservation and Transport and a minitip nylon flocked swab for sample collection.
