Isn't it antifreeze?

This is the second time that I read that CARBOWAX is used for this procedure. A word of alert: CARBOWAX is an extremely dangerous and carcinogen product. Handle it accordingly!

	Would it be a urine for Uryovision? If so, carbowax is generally
	supplied by the reference lab that does the testing - or PreservCyt will
	work if you don't have the kits. It must be added in a certain amount of
	time. 
	
	This web site tells about it...

	And if you are sending to a reference lab, you can get kits and specs
	from them. 
	
	Hope this helps, j
