  • Patent number: 10359417
    Abstract: A portable method and sampling device for collecting aerosols comprising biomarkers from exhaled breath of a subject for further sensor based analysis. The sampling device (41) comprising a housing (406) comprising at least one inlet (407) and at least one outlet (408) for the exhaled breath to exit through, and a sampling membrane arranged in the housing. The sampling membrane is arranged to collect the aerosols from said exhaled breath.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180306775
    Abstract: A portable drug testing device for handheldly collecting a sample from exhaled breath of a subject for further sensor based analysis. The portable drug testing device comprising a housing comprising at least one inlet and at least one outlet for the exhaled breath to exit through, and a sampling membrane arranged in the housing. a tubular element having a mouthpiece section for the subject to exhale into, and a selective trap section in fluid communication with the mouthpiece and the inlet of the housing having a non-straight gas flow path for letting aerosols pass through the tubular element. The sampling membrane is arranged to collect the aerosols from the exhaled breath. The portable drug testing device further comprises a volume measure unit for determining that a pre-defined volume of the exhaled breath has passed through the sampling membrane.

  • Patent number: 9977011
    Abstract: A portable drug sampling device for handheldly collecting a sample from exhaled breath of a subject for further sensor based analysis. The device comprising: a housing (406) comprising at least one inlet (407) and at least one outlet (408) for the exhaled breath to exit through, and a sampling membrane (302) arranged in the housing. A tubular element (40) having a mouthpiece section (401) for the subject to exhale into, and a saliva trap section comprising baffles (103) to create a non-straight gas flow path for letting aerosols pass through the tubular element. The sampling membrane (302) is arranged to collect the aerosols from the exhaled breath. The portable drug testing device further comprises a volume collecting element (208).

  • Publication number: 20130066223
    Abstract: A drug interlock for vehicles based on exhaled breath directed onto said SERS-active substrate, wherein a detected drug substance in exhaled breath of a subject locks said vehicle from use for at least a pre-determined time or a repeated exhaled breath test where no drugs are detected. A collecting surface has a Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)-active layer that comprises at least one SERS-active material. The collecting surface is arranged as an outer surface of a waveguide for contact with exhaled breath, such that at least traces of said at least one drug substance in said exhaled breath can contact said SERS-active layer for read-out of a Raman shift spectrum that is detected in-situ for said detecting the presence or determining the quantitative amount of said at least one drug substance from said exhaled breath.
