  • Publication number: 20230320705
    Abstract: A liquid specimen collection device. Various embodiments implement oral fluid collection, extraction, storage, and/or testing. The device can be used to collect fluid, and to then extract and prepare the fluid for analysis, which can eliminate human error in collection and reduce complexity in diagnostic analysis. The disclosed device may be used to collect any liquid specimen. Any instance when liquid should be collected, stored, and tested may benefit from use of this disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20230172591
    Abstract: Liquid sample collection devices, systems, and methods. In one example, the system includes a liquid collection device, a cap for the liquid collection device, and a sealed reagent liquid container installed in the cap, in which depressing the cap relative to the liquid collection device unseals the reagent liquid container. In another example, the system includes a liquid collector and a collection chamber in which the collection chamber holds a reagent in a sealed condition and the liquid collector is actuable to disrupt a sealing membrane associated with the collection chamber. In another example, the system includes a liquid collector and a collection chamber in which the liquid collector holds a reagent in a sealed condition and in which the liquid collector is actuable to drain the reagent from the liquid collector into the collection chamber.

  • Publication number: 20220323933
    Abstract: A sintered elastomeric material combined with at least one absorbent material and formed into a thin compressible sheet. The material finds particular use in venting or filtering gasses. In specific examples, the elastomeric material may be a thermoplastic elastomer and the absorbent material may be carbon. When an amount of carbon (or any other type of conductive material) included with the elastomeric material is high enough, the material may also find use as a conductive material.
