Abstract
A composition and method for preserving a urine sample and a preservative delivery vessel are disclosed wherein treatment of the urine sample aids in preserving circulating cell-free nucleic acids in urine over a wide range of dilution ratios within temperature fluctuations that can occur during urine sample handling, storage and transportation. The urine sample preservation composition and method and preservative delivery vessel provide a method for obtaining high quality stabilized urinary cell-free nucleic acids for clinical diagnostics development and application.
