Abstract
There is provided a breath sampling tube including an inner conduit, wherein at least a portion of the inner conduit is non-cylindrical and adapted to store liquids. There is also provided a breath sampling system including a gas analyzer and a breath sampling tube may include an inner conduit, wherein at least a portion of the inner conduit is non-cylindrical and adapted to store liquids. Also provided is a method of breath sampling including channeling breath through a tube having an inner conduit, wherein at least a portion of the inner conduit is non-cylindrical and adapted to store liquids. There is further provided, a self-drying liquid reservoir for a breath sampling tube comprising a housing having a diameter larger than the diameter of the sampling tube; and a wick material essentially within the housing adapted to retain liquid, wherein the reservoir is adapted to permit gas flow through the housing. There is provided a breath sampling system including a gas analyzer and a self-drying liquid reservoir for a breath sampling tube comprising a housing having a diameter larger than the diameter of the sampling tube and a wick material essentially within the housing adapted to retain liquid, wherein the reservoir is adapted to permit gas flow through the housing. There is also provided a method of breath sampling comprising channeling breath through a self-drying liquid reservoir for a breath sampling tube comprising a housing having a diameter larger than the diameter of the sampling tube and a wick material essentially within the housing adapted to retain liquid, wherein the reservoir is adapted to permit gas flow through the housing.
