Abstract
An apparatus for detecting a biomarker comprises a droplet harvesting structure for converting breath vapor to a fluid droplet for forming a fluid sample and a testing system having a biomarker testing zone for receiving the fluid sample and detecting a biomarker. The droplet harvesting structure may include at least one of a hydrophobic field for receiving the breath vapor and forming the fluid droplet from the received breath vapor and hydrophilic channels for receiving the fluid droplet and channeling the fluid droplet towards the testing system. A fluid dam member may be provided disposed between the droplet harvesting structure and the biomarker testing zone.
