Does the Yenos laboratory analysis require special temperature conditions?

Yes — the MinION flow cell and reagents must be maintained within a specified temperature range for optimal performance. The laboratory maintains climate-controlled conditions for instrument operation and reagent storage. Critically, the patient's urine sample must also remain adequately stable during shipping. The OncuraKit includes Yenos-validated preservation media that maintains miRNA integrity during overnight transit at ambient temperature (15–30°C), eliminating the need for ice packs or cold chain shipping for the sample. However, the sample should not be exposed to extreme heat (above 40°C) or freeze during transit. The pre-paid overnight shipping service ensures that the sample is processed quickly after collection.
