Where two or more documents incorporated by reference contain conflicting and/or contradictory disclosures, the document with the later effective date shall prevail. The present invention provides, for example, the following: (Item 1) A device for receiving fluid from an object, Device actuator and One or more fluid activators configured to release fluid from the object, A vacuum source, A support having side walls, An interface configured to come into contact with the skin of the object, wherein the interface defines an opening through which a fluid is received from the object, and Equipped with, A device in which at least a portion of the interface is movable relative to the side wall of the support. (Item 2) The device according to item 1, wherein the interface is made of a first material, the sidewall of the support is made of a second material, and the first material has a Young's modulus lower than that of the second material. (Item 3) The device according to item 1 or 2, wherein the interface comprises a main body and a first division, the first division being connected to the main body by a region having a reduced cross-sectional area compared to the main body, the region enabling the first division to move relative to the main body, and the first division being movable relative to the side wall of the support. (Item 4) The device according to any one of items 1-3, wherein the diameter of the opening is smaller than the largest diameter of the side wall of the support. (Item 5) The side wall forms a cylindrical shape, the device according to any one of items 1-4. (Item 6) The side wall forms a funnel shape, the device according to any one of items 1-5. (Item 7) The device according to any one of items 1-6, wherein the interface includes a distal surface configured to contact the target skin, the sidewall includes a distal end, and the surface area of the distal surface of the interface is greater than the surface area of the distal end of the sidewall. (Item 8) The interface is a device according to any one of items 1-7, which is attached to the side wall. (Item 9) The interface is made from silicone, as described in any one of items 1-8. (Item 10) The interface is made from a thermoplastic elastomer, as described in any one of items 1-9. (Item 11) The device according to any one of items 1-10, wherein the interface has a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, and the horizontal portion is movable relative to the support. (Item 12) The device according to any one of items 1-11, wherein the interface has a horizontal portion and a C-shaped portion that transitions the interface from the support to the horizontal portion of the interface. (Item 13) The device according to any one of items 1-12, wherein the interface has a horizontal shape with rounded corners at the opening. (Item 14) The device according to any one of items 1-13, wherein the interface has an L-shape having a vertical portion and a horizontal portion. (Item 15) The device according to item 14, wherein the neck portion is joined to the vertical portion, and the neck portion has a width smaller than the width of the vertical portion and the width of the horizontal portion. (Item 16) The device according to any one of items 1-15, wherein the vacuum source comprises a vacuum valve that generates a vacuum when the valve expands from a smaller volume to a larger volume. (Item 17) The device according to any one of items 1-16, further comprising a storage chamber configured to store a fluid to be received within the device. (Item 18) The device according to item 17, wherein the storage chamber is removable from the device. (Item 19) The fluid activator is a device according to any one of items 1-18, comprising a needle. (Item 20) The fluid activator is a device according to any one of items 1-19, comprising a blade. (Item 21) A device for receiving fluid from an object, A housing including an inlet side wall that defines an opening for receiving fluid inside the housing, Device actuator and One or more fluid activators configured to release fluid from the object, An interface configured to come into contact with the skin of the subject and Equipped with, A device wherein the interface includes a distal surface configured to contact the target skin, the inlet sidewall includes a distal end, and the surface area of the distal surface of the inlet sidewall is greater than the surface area of the distal end of the inlet sidewall.
