Device for Fluid Sampling

摘要

The disclosure is directed to a device for fluid sampling. The device may have two panels that are or may be adhered, attached or otherwise connected to opposite sides of a sampling bag having flexible walls. The panels may be used for conveniently inflating or deflating the sampling bag and obtaining fluid samples.

主权项

1. A sampling device, comprising:
a sampling bag for sampling fluids comprising at least two flexible walls defining an internal sampling volume and an inlet port defined by one of the two flexible walls providing communication between an ambient fluid to be sampled and the internal sampling volume; a top substantially rigid panel connected to one of the flexible walls on a first side of the sampling bag; a bottom substantially rigid panel connected to the other of the flexible walls on a side opposite of the first side of the sampling bag; and biasing means for exerting springing forces on the panels to bias the panels away from each other.
