  • Patent number: 7968348
    Abstract: Provided is sampling and testing device for the detection of specific molds, allergens, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other protein containing substances. Embodiments of the device include a sampling member slideably engaged with a base that contains a lateral flow strip adapted to detect specific analytes of interest. The sampling member defines a solvent reservoir that stores an elution solvent in a fluid-tight manner before the device is used to sample and test environmental surfaces. During slideable withdrawal of the sampling member from the base, the elution solvent stored in the reservoir is automatically released to a wick assembly of the sampling member. The wick assembly includes a wick adapted to receive, distribute, and retain the elution solvent. After a user samples an environmental surface for an analyte of interest with the elution solvent wetted wick, the sampling member is returned to the base where the wick contacts the lateral flow strip contained in the base.

  • Publication number: 20090124017
    Abstract: Provided is sampling device and method for the detection of protein-containing substances. The sampling device includes a first reagent holder coupled to a second reagent holder by an activating member. Coupled to first reagent holder is a first reagent reservoir and coupled to second reagent holder is a second reagent reservoir. The first reagent reservoir is protected from the ambient environment by a first reagent protector and the second reagent reservoir is similarly protected from the ambient environment by a second reagent protector. After a sample has been obtained from the surface of a sampling object, the application of a sufficient activation force on the activating member places the first reagent reservoir in fluid communication with the second reagent reservoir.

  • Patent number: 7494342
    Abstract: Provided is a demonstration apparatus comprising a top subassembly and a bottom subassembly. The top subassembly includes a reservoir adapted to contain a consumer product to be demonstrated. The consumer product has efficacy to produce a consumer-desired effect that is directly or indirectly observable. The bottom subassembly includes a vial containing a contaminant upon which the consumer product produces the consumer-desired effect. The top sub assembly and bottom subassembly are coupled to a reservoir seal element. Upon activation of the demonstration apparatus, the consumer product flows into the bottom subassembly and contacts the contaminant to produce the consumer-desired effect. Also provided, are a method of use for the demonstration apparatus and a kit containing the demonstration apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20080003144
    Abstract: Provided is sampling device and method for the detection of an analyte of interest on an environmental surface. The sampling device includes a first reservoir adapted to contain a first liquid, a second reservoir adapted to contain a second liquid, a swab holder coupled to the first reservoir and the second reservoir, a swab disposed within the swab holder, and an activation member coupled to the first and second reservoirs opposite the swab holder. After the swab is used to collect a sample from an environmental surface, and upon application of an activation force on the activation member, the first and second reservoirs are placed in fluid communication with the swab holder and the first and second liquids flow into the swab holder to contact the swab. The swab develops an indicator color if the sample of the environmental surface contained the analyte of interest.
