Urine as a liquid biopsy for cancer detection

Molecules, microbes and multiomics

We recently had the opportunity to visit our new sister company, Novosanis, in Antwerp, Belgium, to talk about urine as a sample type. Novosanis is dedicated to solving urine sampling challenges through its product Colli-Pee™ - an award-winning device designed to efficiently and hygienically capture first-void urine (the first 20ml of a urine sample). I spoke with their CEO and co-founder, Vanessa Vankerckhoven about the challenges first void urine collection solves for both cancer detection as well as STIs.
