Application
Self-Collection
Simplifying collection devices and ensuring a prolonged sample transport could promote self-collection expansion in many new medical fields.

Product
Self – LolliSponge®
LolliSponge® easiness allows saliva collection from non-collaborative patients or when professional assistance is not available, enabling COVID-19 active surveillance programs in fragile communities.

Product
Self – UriSponge™
Copan Self UriSponge™ is a safe and easy-to-use device to collect urine samples. Collection can be performed at Point of Care in complete privacy, using a non-invasive procedure.

Product
SMART-eNAT®
SMART-eNAT® combines eNAT® with a unique SMART cap delivery system, providing a safe and efficient nucleic acids collection and transport for prolonged periods. The SMART post-collection high-performance yet intuitive cap avoids any spillage or unwanted contact, facilitating self-sampling at home.
