  • BREATH AND BREATH CONDENSATE ANALYSIS SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20120165694
    Abstract: A system for collecting an exhaled breath sample and exhaled breath aerosol from a subject includes a condensation chamber having an outer wall defining an interior space. The outer wall has an inlet port and an outlet port therethrough in fluid communication with the interior space. The inlet port is placeable in fluid communication with an exhaled breath sample of the subject. A condensation element is positioned within the condensation chamber interior space and has a shape tapering downwardly toward a bottom tip thereof. A condensation of fluid on the condensation element is enhanced through various elements. A collection area is positioned within the condensation chamber's interior space beneath the condensation element bottom tip. The collection area is for collecting condensate accumulating on an outer surface of the condensation element and dropping from the tip thereof.
    Type: Application
