Abstract

The invention relates to an ingestible device (100) for taking a sample of a target location of a digestive system (200), the target location having pH within a first pH range and pressure within a first pressure range; the device comprising an elastic cover (102) enclosing an inner space (101), the elastic cover comprising an opening (106) for entrance of a sample into the inner space; the device comprising a first additional cover (103) degradable at the first pH range; the first additional cover (103) covering the elastic cover and compressing the elastic cover by applying a pressure on the elastic cover greater than a greatest pressure of the first pressure range so that, upon degradation of the first additional cover (103) in the target location of a digestive system, volume of the inner space (101) increases for forcing a sample to enter the inner space (101) through the opening.
