To enable reliable sample collection for a toilet-attached analyzer, here a novel sample collector is proposed. The applicability of the proposed sample collector is validated for long-term use. Geometric parameters of the 3D-printed sample collector are optimized. The collected and leftover volumes are quantified for a range of urination speeds and design parameters. For long-term cyclic use, the protein concentrations of samples are quantified and the effectiveness of washing the sample collector is assessed.pdfBiomedical engineeringJournal Articlehttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-81842-zQ2NOIR02650
