Description of samples taken in the validation phase experiments in the residence of the subject who tested positive for COVID-19.
| Day | Sample ID | Coriolis μ location | Subject’s position/activity |
| 1 (positive control) | House # 01 | Office desk | Seated at 2 m distance from the Coriolis μ and engaged in continuous speech during sampling | House # 02 | House # 03 | Office desk | Seated at 20 cm distance from the Coriolis μ and engaged in continuous speech during sampling | House # 04 | House # 05 | Office desk | Same conditions as above (20 cm distance and talking) but sampling cup reused from previous sampling, after rinsing with sterile water + ethanol |
| 2 (negative control) | House # 06 | Bedroom (occupied overnight, unoccupied during sampling) | Subject absent | House # 07 | Living room (occupied by PCR-negative partner of subject) | Subject absent | House # 08 | Office desk | Seated at 2 m distance from the Coriolis μ and engaged in continuous speech during sampling | House # 09 | Office desk | Seated at 20 cm distance from the Coriolis μ and engage in continuous speech during sampling | House # 10 | Office desk | Same conditions as above (20 cm distance and talking) but sampling cup reused from previous sampling, after rinsing with sterile water + ethanol |
