Urine sampling offers several benefits, however, not all urine fractions are the same. First-void urine is generally considered the first 20mL to 30mL of urine flow. This fraction contains higher concentrations of analytes associated with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) DNA than subsequent fractions. Additionally, first-void urine sampling is important to identify cancer biomarkers, such as prostate cancer.
Collecting a first-void urine sample with a standard urine cup can be awkward, messy and inconvenient for the user. For this reason, Novosanis developed Colli-Pee®.
