A method and an apparatus (30) for sampling urine at a toilet (10) equipped with a standard water closet bowl fixture (12). An elongated, curved, urine sampling trough (32) having a U-shaped cross-section is used. For sampling of urine, the sampling trough (32) is positioned in the vertical central plane (46) of the toilet bowl fixture in such a manner that it extends obliquely between the upper front region and the bottom region of the inner space of the bowl (14). As the urine sampling trough (32) covers a substantial length in the vertical direction as well as in the fore-and-aft direction, the urine column hits on the sampling trough even when the trajectory of urine column is fluctuated in the vertical or fore-and-aft direction, whereby urine is effectively sampled. As the urine sampling trough is elongated and curved, it can be readily stored under the toilet seat when not in use.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de prélèvement d'urine dans un cabinet de toilette (10) équipé d'une cuvette (12) de type normal, et d'un appareillage (30) approprié. Le dispositif utilise un conduit de prélèvement d'urine (32) de forme allongée et de section en U. Pendant le prélèvement d'urine, un conduit de prélèvement d'urine (32) est placé à la verticale par rapport au centre de la surface (46) de la cuvette, et monté de façon oblique entre une zone antéro-supérieure, et une zone de fond d'un réceptacle (14). Le conduit (32) ayant une longueur importante verticalement et longitudinalement, le flux d'urine atteint le conduit de prélèvement, même si le parcours du flux d'urine évolue verticalement ou longitudinalement. Lorsqu'il n'est pas en service, le conduit de prélèvement d'urine peut être facilement rangé en dessous de l'abattant grâce à sa forme allongée et incurvée.
