Wheaton has launched the Ramboldi range of primary urine collection tubes, specifically designed for use with automated urinalysis machines
The range features standard 16 x 100mm round bottom tubes that will fit directly into analyser racks for immediate analysis.
Tubes are supplied with a collection cup for the patient’s comfort during sample collection and for easy transfer of sample to the tube.
Analysis of urine samples is a common, non-invasive method for initial patient screening. Collection of samples has historically been through the issue of 30ml containers to the patient.
While this is fine for on-the-spot dip-stick analysis of the sample, more in depth analysis is often performed by clinical chemistry and microbiology laboratories using automated analysers.
This requires decanting the sample into tubes to fit the analyser racks which can often be messy, cause contamination and take up valuable time.
Manufactured from virgin polystyrene Ramboldi tubes have a capacity of 11ml and are fitted with a leak-proof screw cap for ease of transporting and storage of the sample.
The tubes are suitable for use with all major automated urinalysis systems.
Product features:
- Suitable for use with automated urine analysis machines
- Removes the need for decanting of sample in the laboratory
- Printed label for patient details
- Option of plain tube or pre-dosed with boric acid
- Collection cup supplied with all tube options
- Supplied sterile
“We are excited to be meeting the demands of the clinical market as its requirements change. These product packs provide a safe and clean solution for laboratory analysis staff whilst still being a simple sample collection option for patients,” said Sara Yohn, marketing manager at Wheaton.
