Embodiment Construction

[0034] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and techniques for detecting harmful environmental pollutants, such as but not limited to antineoplastic drugs used in the treatment of cancer, with increased sensitivity to trace concentrations of antineoplastic drugs in collected samples . Kits for such testing may include a collection system, a test device, and instructions for use instructing the user to perform the sampling procedure using a specifically defined swab speed, force, and post-swab inversion protocol. When implemented as outlined in the instructions for use, these protocols lead the user to perform a precise sampling procedure, which in turn reduces variation in pick-up and shedding efficiency. Throughout this disclosure, example systems, kits, and methods will be described with reference to the collection, testing, and detection of antineoplastic agents, but it will be understood that the present technology can be used to collect, test, and detec...

Abstract

Sampling systems and techniques that increase pickup efficiency and shedding efficiency of an analyst of interest collected from a surface are provided. In one aspect, an absorbent swab collects an analyte of interest, such as a hazardous contaminant, from a test area demarcated by a template. The sampling techniques can include swab speed and force protocols specifying how fast and how hard the user should apply the swab across the surface to improve pickup efficiency. The sampling techniques can include instructions for inverting a container enclosing the swab and collected contaminant to improve shedding efficiency from the swab.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims a U.S. Provisional Patent Application entitled "SAMPLING SYSTEMS AND TECHNIQUES TO COLLECT HAZARDOUS CONTAMINANTS WITH HIGH PICKUP AND SHEDDING EFFICIENCIES," filed September 21, 2017 No. 62 / 561,552, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The systems and methods disclosed herein relate to environmental contaminant testing, and more particularly to techniques for improving the efficiency of pickup or shedding during sampling of a test area. Background technique [0004] Antineoplastic drugs are used to treat cancer and are most commonly found as small molecules (such as fluorouracil) or antibody forms (such as Rituximab). Detecting antineoplastic drugs is critical to determining the presence of contamination or leakage in places where drugs are used and / or dispensed, such as hospitals and pharmacies. [0005] The properties of antineoplastic drugs m...
