The Urine Monovette® is designed for hygienic urine collection, transport and analysis.  The device has a suction tip for drawing urine from collection containers, or it may be used for collection directly from urine drainage systems with needleless sampling ports.  After collection, the Urine Monovette’s plunger is removed, converting the device to a primary transport tube. Test strips can be immersed in the tube, which can also be centrifuged for isolation of sediment. 

Safety Features and Benefits:

The Urine Monovette® provides needleless urine sampling from collection containers.  The multi-functional device serves as a collection, transport and centrifuge tube.  The Urine Monovette® is also available with a boric acid preparation, or white for UV light protection.
