A system for collecting and retaining a sample from exhaled breath of a subject for analysis can include a two part housing, a two part trap section, and optionally a boat fitment. Disclosed is a portable fluid sampling device comprising: a housing including a first portion removably attachable to a second portion, the first and second portions being configured to combine to form a chamber therein, the chamber being configured to at least temporarily contain or hold a biological sample therein, at least one of the first portion and the second portion including an inlet, the other of the first portion and the second portion including an outlet, wherein the device further comprises at least one of the following: a) one of the first portion and the second portion including an end having a projection, the other of the first portion and the second portion including an end having a groove, the groove being configured to receive at least a portion of the projection therein; or b) tamper evident means for indicating that the first portion of the housing has previously been separated from the second portion of the housing.

Portable fluid sampling device, system for using same, and method of making and using same

Disclosed are an entrained polymer or an entrained polymer composition, and a method for forming and adhering an entrained polymer structure to a substrate using the entrained polymer or an entrained polymer composition. The method includes providing a substrate configured to receive application of a molten entrained polymer. A particulate entrained polymer in molten form is applied in a predetermined shape, to a surface of the substrate, to form a solidified entrained polymer structure on the substrate. The entrained polymer includes a monolithic material formed of at least a base polymer and a particulate active agent. The surface of the substrate is compatible with the molten entrained polymer so as to thermally bond with it. In this way, the entrained polymer bonds to the substrate and solidifies upon sufficient cooling of the entrained polymer.

Methods for dispensing and adhering hot melt entrained polymers to substrates

Disclosed are methods for forming and adhering an entrained polymer structure to a substrate. The methods include providing a substrate () configured to receive application of a molten entrained polymer (). A mineral entrained polymer in molten form is applied in a predetermined shape, to a surface of the substrate, to form a solidified entrained polymer structure on the substrate. The entrained polymer includes a monolithic material formed of at least a base polymer () and a mineral active agent () to absorb excess moisture. The surface of the substrate is compatible with the molten entrained polymer so as to thermally bond with it. In this way, the entrained polymer bonds to the substrate and solidifies upon sufficient cooling of the entrained polymer. The polymer can have a channeling or foaming agent (), eg polyglycol. To apply the polymer is provided a hot melt dispensing apparatus comprising: a feeder () (optionally an extruder or loader) for providing a flow of mineral entrained polymer in molten form; one or more hoses (), each of which having an internal lumen in fluid communication with an exit () of the feeder to receive flow of the mineral entrained polymer in molten form, the lumen terminating at an applicator () to which the entrained polymer in molten form is conveyed; the applicator comprising a dispenser () for applying the entrained polymer in the predetermined shape to the surface of the substrate. The hose and the dispenser can be heated.
