Abstract: A filter coupling frame connecting filters to each other. The filter coupling frame may include one or more couplings interchangeable with each other to releasably engage a variety of filters. The coupling may include one or more latches. The coupling may include one or more alignment structures.

Abstract: This invention is in the field of medical devices. Specifically, the present invention provides fluidic systems having a plurality of reaction sites surrounded by optical barriers to reduce the amount of optical cross-talk between signals detected from various reaction sites. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing fluidic systems and methods of using the systems.

Abstract: A system comprises a mouth piece to receive exhaled air; a breath chamber to receive exhaled air; a valve to direct exhaled air along a desired flow path, direct purge gas along a desired flow path, control the rate of flow of purge gas, control the rate of flow of exhaled air, block the flow of purge gas, and/or block the flow of exhaled air; a source of purge gas; a CO2 cartridge to remove CO2; a water cartridge to remove water; a breath cartridge to capture VOCs from exhaled air; a temperature control system to control the temperature of CO2 cartridge, a water cartridge, and/or a breath cartridge; a cryostat to contain and limit heat flow to a cryogenic liquid; a flow meter designed to measure the flow of exhaled air and/or purge gas; and a pressure transducer to measure a pressure, a flow rate, and/or a flow volume.
