Product Information: COLLECTOR, BREATH CONDENSATE RTUBE (100/PK)

• 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
• The RTube is designed for ease of use even by the unsupervised patient in the home, workplace, laboratory, hospital, or clinic
• This non-invasive handheld device is fully self-contained and disposable
• Sealable condensation tube is easily shipped in the mail for centralized sample analysis
• No centrifuge needed! Syringe-style plunger action sweeps even the tiniest drops of condensate from the condensation tube walls into a single fluid pool for easy analysis
• Custom duckbill valve/nozzle enhances condensation efficiency and produces high condensate volumes
• Single-use design eliminates any opportunity for infectious cross-contamination
• RTube is registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration as a Class I device for the collection of expired gas
• Volume of Condensate Collected: 1,000 µL Adult / 700 µL Child
