A fluid specimen collection, storage, transport, and testing cup contains a removable chromatographic strip-carrying cartridge and an axially moveable liquid specimen preserving caddy which moves between a first, pre-test position and a second, post-test position. During which a caddy drain is temporarily opened allowing an amount of liquid specimen deposited in the caddy to flow into the cup and contact the strips. Once in the second position, the drain is sealed for later confirmatory testing. The caddy is moved between the two positions by screwing a threaded lid more tightly onto the top opening of the cup. The axial range of the screw is limited by a removable obstruction collar. The caddy can include a liquid specimen containing chamber having a lower opening sealed by a frangible barrier.

An analytical toilet comprising a bowl for receiving excreta from a user, a urine collection chamber in fluid communication with the bowl, a sensor for detecting properties of the urine after at least partial settling of the urine, a valve adapted to release the captured urine from the urine collection chamber, and a source of flush water to clean the urine collection chamber.

The present invention provides an analytical sample container including an opening of at least about 40 mm and a resealable leakproof seal. The container contains a volume of a stabilizing liquid, including an alcohol, in an amount of at least about 2 mL and less than 50% of the volume of the container. A method of biosample collection is also provided. A mixture of a biosample and a stabilizing liquid from a leakproof sealed analytical sample container is analyzed. The stabilizing liquid includes an alcohol in an amount of about 2 mL to about 50% of a volume of the container.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated urine testing device (100) to facilitate the female user to urinate in the standing or sitting or squatting positions and allow them to determine the analyte present in the urine for testing purpose, for example, pregnancy. The device (100) includes the foldable structure (102), defining a spout member (106) having the inlet opening (108) and the outlet opening (112). The device (100) includes slits (126) and the test strip (132). The test strip (132) is fixedly disposed at the slits (126) of the wall member (118) of the spout member (106). The test strip (132) include the testing portion (134) is adapted to come in contact with the urine flowing in the spout member (106), and the indicating portion (136) of the test strip (132) is adapted for indicating test results without the test strip (132) being removed from the device (100).

A device for determining the concentration of a predefined gas in a medium includes a first sensor for determining the gas concentration in a flow of the medium; a second sensor for determining a physical parameter of the medium in the flow of the medium; and a processing device, which is set up to determine the quality of the determination using the first sensor on the basis of a signal from the second sensor.

A server apparatus 10 is communicably connected to a terminal apparatus 20 that collects sensor data from an odor sensor 40. The server apparatus 10 includes an analyzer holding unit 11 that holds a plurality of analyzers for analyzing specific odor analysis targets, based on sensor data, an analyzer management unit 12 that determines preprocessing to be performed on the sensor data, by selecting an analyzer according to the environment of the odor sensor 40, and causes the terminal apparatus 20 to execute the preprocessing, an analysis execution unit 13 that executes analysis processing of the designated odor analysis target, by applying the selected analyzer to the preprocessed sensor data, and an analysis result transmission unit 14 that transmits information indicating a result of the analysis processing to the terminal apparatus 20.

A disposable cartridge can be used for biofluid sample collection, preparation, and mixing with reagents. After sample collection, the cartridge can be inserted into a reader for sample analysis. This system can be used for detecting and measuring analytes, such as drugs, in saliva for example. This is useful for point of test detection of drugs in applications such as workplace drug testing and driving under the influence of drugs testing.

The present specification discloses sample containers and collection kits for collecting a sample being handled by a chain-of-custody protocol and methods and uses for collecting a sample using such sample containers and collection kits.

Method and apparatus to record consent between two or more sexual partners. If both partners cannot prove certain information, including but not limited to their respective ages and respective levels of intoxication, a consent record will not be generated or a negative consent record will be generated. A no or negative record consent cannot be overridden by either of the two partners.
