Disclosed herein is a device for holding an animal's head. The device comprises a bracket configured for attachment proximal to a head receiving portion of an animal restraint, a clutch mechanism pivotally mounted to the bracket and defining a pivot point for the device, and an arm mounted to the clutch mechanism intermediate first and second arm end portions. A cradle for receiving the animal's head is located at the first end portion of the arm and the second end portion of the arm comprises a handle. The clutch mechanism is configured to rotate freely in a first direction and to rotate in the opposite direction only upon release of a clutch locking mechanism. The device is attached to the animal restraint and, upon a user utilizing the handle to rotate the device, the cradle is caused to cup the underside of the head of a restrained animal and hold the animal's head in a desired location.
Disclosed herein is a biological sample device comprising a body comprising an inlet that is connectable to a mask configured to capture a breath sample from an animal; a first outlet, arranged to allow the breath of the animal to exit the device; and a second outlet, arranged to allow the breath of the animal to flow into a collection chamber. The device also comprises an electrically operated valve, the valve being arranged to direct the breath of the animal to the first outlet and operable to divert the breath of the animal to the second outlet; a pressure sensor located within the body, the pressure sensor being configured to sense a beginning and an end of an exhalation of the animal; and a microcontroller configured to receive data from the pressure sensor and, based on an accumulation of these data, determine a breath collection period for the animal. The microcontroller is configured to operate the valve to divert the breath of the animal to the second outlet during the breath collection period of a subsequent exhalation of the animal.
