TOILET WITH CONSUMABLE MATERIAL SEPARATING FECES FROM BOWL
A toilet is disclosed. The toilet has a bowl adapted to receive feces, a shelf for receiving feces in the bowl, a mechanism that places a consumable material on the shelf between uses of the toilet, and a removal mechanism for removing the feces and the consumable material from the bowl. The consumable material on the shelf is to separate feces from the shelf.
Analytical Toilet for Detecting Viruses in Urine
The invention is an analytical toilet and a method. The toilet, includes a bowl adapted to receive urine. A passage is provided for transferring a sample of the urine to a detection system. The detection system is configured to receive the sample and detect a virus. When the sample is brought into contact with the detection system, the detection system indicates the presence of a virus by generating a distinct signal. Preferably, the detection system makes use of a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), such as a quantitative PCR instrument. The method makes use of the analytical toilet and is designed to detect the presence or absence of targeted genetic material, preferably genetic material from a virus, such as SARS-CoV-2.
