Microbiological Air Sampler Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) Collector

Microbiological Air Sampler Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) Collector

This is a convenient and rapid collector of Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC), the principle is making the exhaled breath gas to meet the cryogenic inner wall of condenser tube, and then forming the liquid.

Feature

1.Small size, light weight, portable

2.Simple operation, continuous collection

3.Normal breathing, comfortable collection experience

4.High collection efficiency, high speed, 3-5 minutes can collect 500μl-1000μl

5.The collection tube is consumables material, easy to use, avoid cross contamination

6.Safe, non-invasive, painless, comfortable experience, the use of the instrument does not affect the normal breathing of subject

Principle

The design is special separate cover, which enable the exhaled breath gas of subjects to form a vortex flow in the centrifuge tube, promote the water mist to form liquid drop, and reduce the formation of liquid film.

At the same time, the condensate droplets on the side wall can be blown down continuously and collected at the bottom of the condenser pipe, finally to improve the sample concentration and collection rate. We choose 50ml centrifugal tube to increase the condensation contact area, and the collected condensate liquid can be directly used for inspection or refrigerated preparation.

Specification

Application & Actual Case

Air pollution, respiratory infection, smoking, dust and chemical inhalation, and genetic factors will lead to different diseases of the lung and respiratory system, which seriously threaten human life and health.

Exhaled Breath Condensate, same as saliva, sputum, blood, sweat and urine, which is an important specimen source of testing the physiological and biochemical indexes of human body. Exhaled Breath Condensate contains a large number of volatile and non-volatile substances, the change of these substances can reflect the oxidative damage and inflammation in the respiratory tract, which used to detect the change of the disease.

Our sampler is especially suitable for the Covid-19 Personnel detection.

Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) Collector, is applied in Wuhan during COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control in 2020, using for the collection and detection of patients’ exhaled gas. BioscreenII provides a powerful technical support for the assessment of the risk of Novel Coronavirus aerosol transmission and the improvement of biological safety protection measures.
