Abstract: An ingestible device for sampling material at least one time is provided. The ingestible device includes a first chamber that is enlargeable in volume and that includes an inlet, and that can be filled with the material to be sampled, a second chamber that is diminishable in volume and that includes an outlet, and a reversible actuating mechanism. The reversible actuating mechanism is configured such that triggering the reversible actuating mechanism leads to an enlargement of the first chamber to collect the material to be sampled through the inlet and also leads to a diminishment of the second chamber.
