Recent research has shown that volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a group of small molecule metabolites, that are continuously generated in the human body can act as biomarkers in cancer detection. Distinct urinary VOC patterns have been associated with different cancer types, as well as cancer stages.
Urine as a sample type is well-accepted, and often preferred by women. As urine can detect HPV, the most common cause of cervical cancer, the sample type has potential to reach a wider population for cervical cancer screening.
Finding simple methods to continue to receive care and essential medical services is critical at this time. On World Health Day, we share how home-based urine sampling offers a solution to reach a wider population.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day (March 8, 2020), Novosanis celebrates all women in science and health. In particular, we want to take this opportunity to recognize Katherine Johnson - the NASA mathematician, who recently passed away at age 101.
Urine science can be complicated, especially with all the different terminology used in the field. Read our latest blog to understand the terms better.
Cervical cancer cases continue to rise in Japan. Learn more about the problem and how urine can offer a solution to facilitate disease detection in our latest blog.
Regular screening in women is critical for early detection of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HPV and Chlamydia, which have links to cervical cancer.
A recent study conducted by The Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium compared a routine clinic-based urine test through a regular cup with home-collected urine samples through Novosanis’ easy-to-use first-void urine capturing device, Colli-Pee for detection of various sexually...
Everybody pees, you knew that. On average an adult produces 6.3 cups of urine a day ( 1 ). Urine is an easily accessible body fluid, and collection is quick, and can be performed independently. As a result, urine is increasingly becoming attractive in monitoring and detecting various diseases. On...
