Dr. Lee Goneau, Scientific Director, Microbiology, in the Dynacare laboratory in Brampton, Ontario, presented at the American Society for Microbiology Microbe 2026 in Washington, DC—one of the world’s leading gatherings for experts in microbiology and infectious diseases—highlighting an area that impacts thousands of patients every day: urine testing, the most common microbiology sample we receive at Dynacare. While urine tests may seem simple, results can be affected by changes after collection. Dr. Goneau’s presentation focused on UriSponge, a device designed to keep samples stable and improve accuracy from the start. This means better accuracy for clinicians, fewer unnecessary repeat tests, and a smoother experience for patients. At Dynacare, we’re continually improving how tests work in real life using innovations that go beyond traditional laboratory testing to enhance accuracy, access, and the overall patient experience. #Microbiology #LifeSciences
