ABSTRACT:
An ingestible capsule and process for sampling, particularly repeatable sampling, of fluids in the alimentary canal is disclosed wherein an essentially non-digestible capsule contains an electric energy emitting means, a radio signal transmitting means, a sampling storage means and a remote actuatable sampling means. The capsule signals a remote receiver as it progresses through the alimentary tract in a previously mapped route and upon reaching a specified site is remotely triggered to capture a fluid sample in the alimentary canal.
