Abstract: A sample collection system includes a housing comprising a first part and a second part, the first and second parts being movable relative to one another; porous sample collection media disposed along an airflow path in the first part; and an assay disposed on the second part and constructed to receive a sample captured by the porous sample collection media. The first and second parts may be slidably movable relative to one another. The first and second parts may be rotatably movable relative to one another. Moving the first and second parts relative to one another aligns the porous sample collection media with at least a portion of the assay. The assay may be a lateral flow assay or a vertical flow assay. The media is constructed to collect a sample from exhalation airflow. A collected sample may be eluted from the media onto the assay using a liquid.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to sample collection devices and sample collection and testing devices. The devices described herein includes a housing defining a fluid channel from a first portion to a second portion. The devices further include a porous sample collection media disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the fluid channel. The devices further include a fluid inlet port disposed in fluid communication with the porous sample collection media. The fluid inlet port is configured to direct a test fluid onto the porous sample collection media. The sample collection device further includes an assay configured to receive a fluid that was incident on the porous sample collection media (and eluent) and test that eluent for the presence (or absence) of a pathogen or virus.

Abstract: A sample collection device includes a planar sheet of material having opposing edges and a first major surface and an opposing second major surface, the planar sheet of material having at least two fold lines. A porous sample collection media has at least three edges and opposing major surfaces, at least one edge is fixed to the first major surface of the planar sheet of material. The planar sheet of material is configured to form an airflow channel by fixing the opposing edges together, the airflow channel extends from a mouthpiece end to an air outlet end. The porous sample collection media substantially occludes the airflow channel between the mouthpiece end and the air outlet end.

Abstract: A sample collection device includes a housing including an exhalation portion and a coupling portion. The coupling portion can be coupled with/to a sample collection tube. An airflow path extends through the housing. The device further includes porous sample collection media partially disposed between within the housing and arranged to occlude the airflow path. The porous sample collection includes nonwoven material and may include polylactic acid, polypropylene, or a combination thereof. The housing can be a single piece, part, or component, or can be multiple pieces, parts, components, or portions. In an embodiment of a two-piece housing, the first part includes an exhalation piece (e.g., a mouthpiece or nosepiece) and the second part includes a coupling end constructed for coupling with a sample collection tube. A method of obtaining a sample using the sample collection device includes breathing into the exhalation piece or portion to collect a sample on the porous sample collection media; coupling the second part or portion with a sample collection tube; and transferring the collected sample on the porous sample collection media into the sample collection tube.

Abstract: A sample collection device including a housing extending from a mouthpiece portion to an air outlet portion. The housing defines an airflow channel from the mouthpiece portion to the air outlet portion. The mouthpiece portion is configured to receive an h exhalation airflow. A porous sample collection media is disposed within the housing and along the airflow channel. A fluid inlet port defines an aperture through the housing and is adjacent to the porous sample collection media. The fluid inlet port is configured to direct id onto the porous sample collection media. A metered fluid dose element is attached to the fluid inlet port. The metered fluid dose element is configured to dispense a metered volume of fluid into the fluid inlet port.
