Integrated urine cup “TUBYCON-U” — an all-in-one kit combining cup, cup cap, and tube

1Single Urine Cup (Single Kit): includes 1 tube

No separate aliquoting after collection; transported through a single tube

Patient barcode attached directly to the tube; first tube serves as both source and child specimen

Prevents manual contamination and sample mix-ups at the source

2Dual Urine Cup (Dual Kit): includes 2 tubes

Two sample tubes collected simultaneously from one cup; efficient for multiple tests

1Cup capacity: 60 · 80 · 90 mL (by model)

2Tube capacity: 8 · 9 · 10 mL (10 mL with fixed-volume filling)

3Height: about 82–97 mm (Mini ~16% smaller)

4Detailed specs (weight, packaging) on the product page or by inquiry

A urine cup that collects two tubes at once from a single cup

1Improves testing efficiency and accuracy where multiple tests are required

2Convenient for patients; no need to receive multiple cups

3Lets staff collect two samples at once; higher work efficiency

1Fixed-volume filling: exactly 10 mL filled automatically, no user adjustment

2Extended tube length: improves barcode readability

3Triple Urine Cup (in development): 3 tubes in one cup; three samples at once

1Available in both sterile and non-sterile versions

2Sterilized by the E-beam (electron beam) method at a certified, reputable sterilization company

Optional components (accessories) = Tube · Tube Kit · Tube Cap · Rack, purchasable as needed

TUBYCON-U ships as a fully assembled product of Cup · Cup Cap · Tube

1Tube: specimen collection tube

Leak-resistant with the tube cap; ideal for air shooter systems

2Tube Kit: tube pre-assembled with the tube cap

Optimized for air shooter transport

3Tube Cap: seals the tube opening for transport

Usually unnecessary in labs (tested right after separation)

Required when transporting from wards or external facilities

4Rack: stacks cups for disposal, or holds a separated cup upright

1-2 per department suffice; reusable

Disposal must follow institutional regulations

Conclusion — TUBYCON-U is complete on its own; purchase only the accessories your workflow needs

Three core values — prevents sample mix-ups · up to ~6x faster processing · cost savings

1Prevents sample mix-ups: barcode on the tube from the start (source = child specimen); patient safety

2Up to ~6x faster processing: about 6 seconds per sample (vs. 30+ seconds)

3Cost savings: no needle; no sharps-waste cost or needlestick risk; reduced labor and material cost

4Simple & hygienic: tilt-and-twist collection; no foam; sealed structure prevents contamination

5High-volume transport: standard tube format; Auto Track and Air Shooter automation

1Labeling, transport, or data-entry mistakes; patient information mix-ups

2Spillage or splashing during transfer; contamination and infection risk

3Hundreds to thousands of samples processed manually; heavy workload

Do not reattach a tube once separated (single-use design)

1A single, normal separation poses no problem at all

2Repeated reattachment for testing may leave fluid on the tube’s outer surface

This is not a tube defect; it is residual fluid from the cup

3Reattaching a tube that contains urine is prohibited

You can seal it, but there is no need — discard the cup’s urine immediately after tube removal

1Use the dedicated stand if the cup must be set down temporarily

2Sealing once with a new tube is possible but not recommended

Reattaching a tube that contains urine is prohibited

Holds the cup upright stably

1Not needed if the cup is discarded right after tube separation

2Useful when the cup must be set down temporarily

31-2 stands per department suffice; reusable

4Cups may be stacked for disposal (per institutional regulations)

1Not required in most labs (tested right after tube separation)

2Used optionally when transporting from wards or external facilities to the lab

3Available for separate purchase

1Leak-resistant when used with the tube cap; prevents urine spillage during use

2Stable use even in hospitals with air shooter systems

3Available for separate purchase

Compatible with most laboratory devices — if a short tube does not fit, the height stand resolves it easily

1Some devices (e.g., certain Siemens models) have a high-mounted barcode reader that may fail to read

Use the height stand, or ask the device maker to adjust the reader position

2Centrifuge: usable. The height stand resolves fit; usable even without the cap

3A version with extended tube length is scheduled for release

Both are supported

1Auto Track: transport the whole all-in-one cup as is, or only the tube (tube cap required)

2Air Shooter: detach the tube, seal with the tube cap, then transport

Excellent sealing prevents leakage

Yes, disposal costs are reduced

1Vacuum cups: the internal needle is sharps medical waste; a dedicated sharps-waste container, costing more

2TUBYCON: no needle; general medical waste, lower cost plus no needlestick risk

1Slightly larger than conventional cups due to the tube, but prioritizes convenience and accuracy

2Compact model Mini Single Urine Cup available (launched January 2026)

Yes — subject to the 20% mandatory public-institution procurement, with NEP certification

1Meets four mandatory-procurement qualifications at once: New Excellent Product · technology-development product · SME · startup

2Public institutions can adopt it easily via the mandatory procurement quota
