Embodiment Construction

[0022] 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, while minimizing test operator exposure to the pollutants. Kits for such testing may include a collection device and a testing device. Throughout this disclosure, example systems, kits and methods will be described with reference to the collection, testing and detection of antineoplastic agents, but it should be understood that the technology can be used to collect, test and detect any particle, molecule or analyte of interest.

[0023] The collection device may comprise an integrated swab and test device (such as a lateral flow assay test strip). Beneficially, the collection device provides a liquid-tight fluid path between the swab and the test strip such that the user is protected from the collected fluid as it is transferred from the swab to the test strip. The collect...

Abstract

Contamination detection systems, kits, and techniques are described for testing surfaces for the presence of analytes of interest, including hazardous contaminants, while minimizing user exposure to these contaminants. Even trace amounts of contaminants can be detected. A collection device provides a swab that is simple to use, easy to hold and grip, allows the user to swab large areas of a surface, and keeps the user's hands away from the surface being tested. The collection device also includes a test strip, and provides a closed fluid transfer mechanism to transfer the collected fluid from the swab to the test strip while minimizing user exposure to hazardous contaminants in the collected fluid. Contamination detection kits can rapidly collect and detect hazardous drugs, including trace amounts of antineoplastic agents, in healthcare settings at the site of contamination.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 797,804, filed January 28, 2019, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The systems and methods disclosed herein relate to environmental pollutant testing, and more particularly to test kits for detecting the presence and / or amount of antineoplastic agents. Background technique [0004] Antineoplastic drugs are used to treat cancer and are most commonly in the form of small molecules (such as fluorouracil) or antibodies (such as rituximab). Detection of antineoplastic drugs is critical to determine the presence of contamination / leakage in hospital / pharmacy areas where drugs are used and / or dispensed. [0005] The properties of antineoplastic agents make them harmful to healthy cells and tissues, as well as cancer cells. Precautions should be taken to eliminate or reduce occupational exposure of heal...
