G.A.S. Dortmund - BreathSpec® Gas Chromatograph-Ion Mobility Spectrometer for VOC Trace Detection
Monitoring regular breath compounds; Detect and quantify volatiles in exhalation from human nose or mouth
Relate the detected volatiles to specific food consumption, different diseases, but also to understand individual human perception of food.
Research for anomalous compounds or compounds’ ratios
Detection of intoxication
Mapping of pharmacokinetics by monitoring volatile species or metabolites
Results
Contour Plot of a GC-IMS spectrum measurement from the headspace of a smoothie mix. The GC separation is represented on the y-axis. The x-axis corresponds to the IMS drift times. Signal intensities are given as a color gradient.
