Abstract: The invention relates to an RoHS-compliant galvanic oxygen sensor of a new type. Said RoHS-compliant galvanic oxygen sensor has a lead-free anode, preferably is backwards compatible with the existing lead-containing sensors in the remaining electrical and geometric specification and the service life of the RoHS-compliant galvanic oxygen sensor, and has no cross-sensitivity to nitrous oxide. The RoHS-compliant galvanic oxygen sensor having a lead-free anode comprises a housing (1), a tin-containing anode (2), a diffusion barrier (3), a cathode (4), and an alkaline electrolyte (6). An aqueous solution of metal salts is used as the electrolyte, wherein a catalyst poison preferably is added to the electrolyte.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device for collecting and releasing saliva. The purpose of the invention is to provide sample device which is easy and safe to handle and which is configured as a disposable construction for use especially on medical diagnostics. To this end, the device consists of a porous unit which can take up the sample fluid and can be squeezed out. The unit is located inside a container which is sealed on one side at one end, and is arranged in such a way that it can be displaced out of said container at the other end which can be opened. The end of the container which can be opened is provided with a sealing cap.
