Abstract

A gas sample containing an inorganic constituent, such as a sample of exhaled air is collected in a bag (b 1) comprising an inlet/outlet (2) and a reagent chamber (3) which makes possible the storage and transport of said sample and thus enables efficient and repeatable off-line determinations of inorganic components in said sample. A sample collection device, a system comprising said device and a method of its use is disclosed.
