Portfolio:

Colli-Pee^®, the heart of the company, allows volumetric and standardized collection of first-void urine. The platform consists of variants capturing a range of urine volumes (4 mL to 45 mL*) for different application purposes.

Urine collection through Colli-Pee^® is easy, comfortable and more accurate than a regular urine cup. Additionally, first-void urine collection has shown to improve detection of infectious diseases, including sexually transmitted infections as well as some cancers. Colli-Pee^® enables immediate mixing of the first-void urine sample with a preservative, improving stability of the urine specimen.

*Some Novosanis products are in development or not available in all geographic regions. Contact us to know the registration status in your region.
