Breath Condensate Collection Device
Portable Collection Devices for the Study of Respiratory Droplets in Exhaled Breath Condensate. Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) is composed of droplets of Airway Lining Fluid (ALF) evolved by turbulence from all lung compartments and held in a matrix of condensed moisture from the breath. These droplets contain numerous biomarkers including DNA, RNA, mRNA, proteins, metabolites, and volatile organic compounds (VOC). The RTube™ Exhaled Breath Condensate collection device captures these droplets and presents them as a fluid pool which can be easily extracted and analyzed.
Breath Condensate Collection Device
Exhaled Breath Condensate Collection from Intubated and Mechanically-Ventilated Patients in the ICU. The RTubeVENT™ breath condensate collection device is designed for ease of use in the ICU. It can be placed in-line in the expiratory limb of the breathing circuit or at the ventilator exhaust port. This non-invasive handheld device is fully self-contained and disposable. As the subject is ventilated, the RTubeVENT gathers breath condensate in a special cartridge designed exclusively for ventilator use. Single use disposable device for research-only use on mechanically ventilated patients, Optimized for ventilator use either inline or on ventilator exhaust port, Provides a safe, simple way to collect exhaled biomarkers in ventilator applications
