Use of a microfabricated silicon device to concentrate ultra trace volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) in human exhaled breath for quantitative analysis of VOCs.
(VOCs) in human exhaled breath for quantitative analysis of VOCs.
Will use Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FT-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
(GC-MS) to analyze concentrated VOCs. The purpose of this study is to search for
disease-related markers in the breath in subjects with known or suspected lung or other
cancer, or pulmonary disease.
