  • Publication number: 20230320623
    Abstract: A device for capturing exhaled breath of an individual for diagnosis, monitoring, and/or study of conditions and/or diseases comprises a mouthpiece; a mixing chamber, to which the mouthpiece is connected; an exhaust tube connected to the mixing chamber, the exhaust tube having an outlet formed therein; and a container having a capture material disposed therein. The mixing chamber is formed such that the exhaled breath from the individual, which is introduced therein via the mouthpiece, contacts the capture material and traps an exhalant of interest in and/or on the capture material.
