Abstract:
An exhaled breath condensate collection device (10) is described. The device includes a condensation chamber (12) having an inlet and an outlet and arranged such that breath exhaled from the lungs of a user flows through the condensation chamber from the inlet to the outlet; at least one cooling element (16); and a frame (18) supporting the condensation chamber and the at least one cooling element. The frame (18) is movable between a first configuration in which the at least one cooling element is operable to cool the condensation chamber so as to promote the formation of breath condensate in the condensation chamber, and a second configuration in which the cooling element is displaced from the condensation chamber so as to encourage condensate to flow into a collection region in fluid communication with the condensation chamber. To be accompanied by FIG. 5.
