Caption: The new VACUETTE Urine CCM tube contains a highly soluble powder that quickly impedes bacterial growth upon simple mixing with urine sample via a few inversion of the tube. This enables an accurate determination of bacteria count at the time of urine sampling for up to 48 hours at room temperature (Photo courtesy of Greiner Bio-One).

Urine Sample Collection Tubes Relaunched for Microbial Diagnostics

A next-generation urine sample collection tube contains an innovative additive that effectively stabilizes bacterial count for up to 48 hours at room temperature, enabling more reliable clinical diagnosis and research.  More...
