Sampling module for e.g. supplying breathing air sample of patient to sample analyzer for diagnosing cancer, has sorption element for sorbing component from medium, and desorption element releasing component of medium from sorption element

摘要

The module (10) has a module body (12) with an interaction volume (16) formed with in an outer wall (14). A sorption element (18a) with a desorption element (20a) e.g. selectively activatable electrical heating element, is provided in the volume. The outer wall comprises two openings through which a sample medium is supplied to the volume. The sorption element is effective for sorbing a component e.g. analytes, from the medium. The desorption element partially releases the sorbed component of the medium from the sorption element. The sorption elements are made of functionalized polymer material, nanotube, microparticle, nanoparticle, nano-porous layer materials, molecular polymers and/or chemical reagents such as crown ether, cyclodextrin, Calixarene and indicator dye, metal organic connections, and biological receptor systems such as antibody, antigens, DNA, RNA, enzymes, enzyme substrates and aptamer. An independent claim is also included for a sample analyzer comprising an analysis port.
