Capitainer®DIP70
Next generation microsampling card
Capitainer®DIP70 is developed to facilitate remote urine sampling. The product collects and stores two volume defined samples in dried format. The drying of the sample facilitates shipping via regular mail reducing the risk of microbial growth and degradation of analytes.
It empowers healthcare providers, researchers and laboratories across the world to provide accurate and easy to use at-home urine sampling solutions for their customers and patients.

About Dried Urine Spot Sampling
Urine is a complex matrix prone to bacterial growth, which can interfere with analyte stability. Hence, urine analysis generally relies on stringent collection methods, well-controlled sample transport and storage conditions to avoid preanalytical variabilities. Drying the urine sample is an efficient way to reduce microbial growth and thereby prevent microbial degradation of analytes. Dried urine collection often relies on dipping paper strips in urine and drying for several hours in the user’s home before sending the sample to the laboratory for analysis.
With Capitainer®DIP70, the sample can be packed up and shipped directly after use providing increased comfort for the user.
