Customer Notification: Ongoing Shortage of Aptima Collection Kits

Re-issue of Notification of ongoing supply constraints on Aptima Collection Devices

  •  Aptima® Urine Specimen Collection                   Kit No. 301040
  •  Aptima® Unisex Swab Specimen Collection     Kit NO. 301041

 These collection kits continue to be in short supply due to global demand for Covid-19 testing swabs.
