UCD NVRL has been notified by HOLOGIC that, an unprecedented sudden and significant global demand for COVID-19 testing has placed supply constraints on their Collection Devices:

• Aptima® Multitest Swab Specimen Collection Kit PRD-03546
• Aptima® Urine Specimen Collection Kit No.301040
• Aptima® Unisex Swab Specimen Collection Kit No. 301041


As such, the NVRL has had to carefully control supply of the collection devices in the short term. These short-term supply constraints are an essential measure to ensure continuity of supply for our users whilst Hologic implement a number of improvements to increase the volume of collection devices being made available for sale.

Please note your complete order may not be filled. Should you require additional collection devices please submit a new order clarifying the quantity required. The NVRL is investigating alternative collection devices as a contingency
