A method for collecting and analyzing urine at the time it is released uses a urine collecting tube joined with a canister. Suction is produced in the collecting tube to join the tube with a penis or to the exterior surface of a female urethra orifice. Once suction is achieved the collecting tube stays in place by suction action. When urine flows into the urine collecting tube a sensor triggers a vacuum pump to produce a higher level of suction to flush the urine into the canister where a level sensor determines the quantity of urine received. Various sensors in the canister determine levels of non-urine partials such as occult blood, drugs, salt, and other substances. When urine is no longer detected within the urine tube, the vacuum pump is turned off and a low-level vacuum remains to assure interconnection with the urine tube.

Provided is an excrement analysis device capable of analyzing urine and feces simultaneously without increasing a burden of maintenance.The excrement analysis device 10 of the present invention includes: a light source 20 that emits an inspection light toward an inspection area in a toilet bowl; spectroscopic information acquisition means 30 that receives an inspection light emitted toward the inspection area and acquires spectroscopic information from the received inspection light; and analysis means 40 that extracts a first space containing the largest amount of urine components and a second space containing the largest amount of fecal components from the acquired spectroscopic information, and outputs a result of analysis of urine and feces on the basis of spectroscopic information regarding the first space and the second space.

The invention discloses a dry chemistry analysis urine test toilet and belongs to the technical field of sanitary wares. The technical problems that an existing technical structure is complex, and firmness and practicability are sufficient are solved. The dry chemistry analysis urine test toilet is characterized in that a urine collecting box is placed in a cavity in the front end of a toilet body and above the water level of a water seal. The urine collecting box is in a drawer shape, a panel of the drawer faces towards the inner side of the toilet body, and the shape of the drawer panel is in accordance with the arc-shaped obliquely erected curved surface of the inner side of the front end of the toilet body in a matched mode. A transmission lead screw is arranged below the urine collecting box, the arrangement direction of the transmission lead screw is in accordance with the outward extension or retraction direction of the urine collecting box, and the outward extension or retraction position of the urine collecting box is controlled by a step motor and is in linkage with the lead screw in the rotation direction. The dry chemistry analysis urine test toilet has the advantages of being simple in structure, convenient to use and better in firmness and practicability. The integrated concealed design is adopted, the whole process from urine collecting to urine test data output is automatically controlled by a microcomputer control unit, automation and domestication of urine test analysis are achieved, and the dry chemistry analysis urine test toilet has positive significance for health of all the people.

Methods for analyzing a urine sample to determine if it contains a microorganism linked to an infection. The method comprising: providing culture-independent urine sample from patient; and analyzing the sample; where the culture-independent urine sample contains a microorganism linked to a UTI if at least one decarboxylated amino acid metabolite selected from agmatine, putrescine or cadaverine isdetected in the culture-independent urine sample. The presence of agmatine is strongly indicative of a urinary tract infection caused by a majority of UTI-causing microorganisms. Another method for sample analysis, for or apart from UTI issues, employs liquid chromatography and mass spectroscopy of eluents separated using continuous chromatography of a sample spiked with an amount of isotopicallylabelled target compound. In another embodiment, the method further employs two-stage, isocratic continuous chromatography and possibly including chromatography through more than one column with elution to a common mass spectrometer.

The invention relates to a method for simultaneous analysis of plastic additives, monomers and estrogen metabolites in urea, specifically to a method for rapid analysis of phthalate metabolites, bisphenol A and estrogen in urine, belonging to the field of analytical chemistry. According to the method, after chromatographic separation of PAEs, phenolic compounds and estrogen metabolites in urea under acidic conditions, a solution with a pH value is injected into a mobile phase flowing out from a chromatographic column, so the mobile phase is adjusted an alkaline mobile phase before entering mass spectrometry; and thus, the ionizationoun efficiency of a to-be-detected substance in a mass spectrometric ion source is improved, phthalate metabolites, bisphenol A and estrogen in urine are analyzed at the same time in one sample introduction, and analysis efficacy is enhanced.

We disclose a device and method for collecting a urine sample as a user urinates into a toilet. The device further conducts analytical measurements which may include spectral, colorimetric, and chemical assays. The user need only urinate normally into the toilet. A urine collection trap, which includes a vertical slit, may capture a urine sample which has a volume in the microliter range. Pumps may divert the urine from the vertical slit into a conduit that is connected to spectral analysis devices and other devices for analyzing the urine sample. The disclosed device is both convenient and prevents unsanitary urine spills.

We disclose an in-toilet urinalysis system which includes a system for collection urine and for analysis of urine components using aptamer technology. Urine collection system may dispense urine into cuvettes, channels, or other containers that include aptamers. The aptamers may detect target molecules in urine. The aptamers may measure urine analytes, detect excreted drugs or drug metabolites, or disease markers. Upon binding to the target molecule, the aptamers may produce a signal which a sensor in the toilet may detect. In some embodiments, the signal may be electrochemical, fluorescent, or colorimetric. The measurements obtained from analysis of the urine may be used to assess a user's health or diagnose disease. In some embodiments, the measurements are stored in a controller which may transmit the measurements to a healthcare provider for assessment.

A urine collecting and analyzing apparatus that mounts on a toilet. The apparatus has a housing that mounts to or is integrated into the rim of the toilet bowl and has an opening for access to the bowl. The housing has a collector compartment and a controller compartment. A collector cup fits under the collector compartment extends over the bowl in a retracted position and in a collecting position. When in the collecting position, the cup captures urine released by a user. The cup is connected to a measurement chamber by a transfer tube. The urine moves through the transfer tube from the cup to the measurement chamber to a predetermined threshold volume and level. A controller in the controller compartment reads sensors and transmits sensor data to a device for storage and display.
