A sampling system for acquiring biowaste samples in a space craft is reported; the automatic biowaste system for sampling and disposal of feces and vomitus includes a storage container and an associated seat. The storage container has a slide valve which is releasably locked in positions placing the seat into and out of communication with the container. A passage from the seat leads to a rotating platform with peripherally located vertical tines. The rotating platform disperses waste radially. A retrievable, porous sampling strip is insertable about the periphery of the rotating platform and is retractable into a separate sampling container. The sampling strip is retrievable into a plastic storage container for subsequent analysis.
