Article Title: Effects of Different Voided Urine Sample Storage Time, Temperature, and Preservatives on Analysis with Multiplex Bead-Based Oncuria Bladder Cancer Immunoassay
doi: 10.3390/diagnostics15020138
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of a commercial Urine Collection and Preservation Tube on 10 bladder cancer biomarker levels in human urine specimens. Analytes were evaluated in urine samples using the Oncuria multiplex bladder cancer assay after sample storage in commercial Urine Collection and Preservation Tubes or in typical sterile 15 mL conical tubes, at room temperature and at 4 °C, for up to 24 h. There was no clear difference in all analytes between urines in preservation tubes and typical sterile 15 mL conical tubes. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of the mean.
Article Snippet: The commercially available Urine Collection and Preservation Tube (Norgen Biotek) claims to prevent nucleic acid and protein degradation for up to 2 years in urine samples stored at room temperature according to the product insert.
