Systems, devices, and methods for bodily fluid sample collection
First Claim
1. A device for collecting a bodily fluid sample, the device comprising:
- a first portion comprising at least two sample collection channels configured to capture bodily fluid sample formed on a surface of a subject by drawing the fluid sample into the sample collection channels via a first type of motive force, wherein one of the sample collection channels has an interior coating designed to mix with the fluid sample and another of the sample collection channels has another interior coating chemically different from said interior coating;
a second portion comprising a plurality of sample containers for receiving the bodily fluid sample collected in the sample collection channels, the sample containers operably engagable to be in fluid communication with the collection channels, whereupon when fluid communication is established, the containers provide a second motive force different from the first motive force to move a majority of the bodily fluid sample from the channels into the containers.

36. A device for collecting a fluid sample from a subject, comprising:
-
(a) a body comprising a first collection channel and a second collection channel, the first collection channel comprising a first opening and a second opening, and being configured to capture sample formed on a surface of the subject by drawing a bodily fluid via capillary action from the first opening towards the second opening; (b) a base, engagable with the body, wherein the base supports a sample container, the sample container being engageable with the collection channel, having an interior with a vacuum therein and having a cap configured to receive a channel; and (c) an adaptor channel, having a first opening and a second opening, the first opening being configured to contact the second opening of the collection channel, and the second opening being configured to penetrate the cap of the sample container; wherein the interior of the first collection channel is coated with a first anticoagulant different from a second anticoagulant of the second collection channel. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
