Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020140003A1] The liquid sample capture apparatus captures a sample of a liquid and holds the sample for optical analysis. The apparatus may include a mount which is traversed by a sample conduit. The mount may have an elongated shape and two ferrules may be placed within the mount along the longitudinal axis of the mount. An end of each of the ferrules may extend into the sample conduit forming a narrowing of the sample conduit which holds the liquid and prevents it from escaping prior to analysis. The opposite ends of the ferrules may each be connected to an optical cable. The optical cables may be connected to an analytical device, for example, a spectrometer. The apparatus may be mounted within a toilet bowl where it may capture and analyze a urine sample.
