DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING AND ANALYZING VAPOR CONDENSATE, PARTICULARLY EXHALED BREATH CONDENSATE, AS WELL AS METHOD OF USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention is related to the field of bio/chemical sensing, assays and applications. Particularly, the present invention is related to collecting a small amount of a vapor condensate sample (e.g. the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) from a subject of a volume as small as 10 fL (femto-Liter) in a single drop), preventing or significantly reducing an evaporation of the collected vapor condensate sample, analyzing the sample, analyzing the sample by mobile- phone, and performing such collection and analysis by a person without any professionals.
