  • Publication number: 20230148903
    Abstract: Breath is used to detect the presence of absence of viruses or bacteria in a test subject. A series of devices can be used to collect a breath specimen. The breath specimen is either passed through a liquid or mixed with a liquid, the liquid capturing the viruses or bacteria contained in the breath. Alternatively, the breath specimen passes a filter medium, and the filter medium captures the viruses or bacteria contained in the breath. Liquid is then passed by the filter medium and collected. Liquids captured by these methods can then be tested by a laboratory, for instance using PCR techniques.
