  • Volatolomics Survey 2019
    1 VOLATOLOMICS Larry J Kricka, Joesph R Wiencek, and Paolo Fortina (IFCC Emerging Technology Division) INTRODUCTION This IFCC Emerging Technology Division (ETD) is dedicated to providing current awareness For emerging technologies likely to have important clinical diagnostic applications in the near Future. One of those technologies is volatolomics (breathomics) (i.e., breath analysis). This web page will provide a regularly updated perspective on the emerging clinical diagnostic applications of volatolomics over the next 3 years. Breath analysis is not new and already has a Few, but very speciFic applications (e.g., breath alcohol testing, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide testing, 13carbon/12carbon-based tests)(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2990505/). The types oF breath analysis can be subdivided into: a. Analysis of exogenous compounds, e.g., ethanol, nitrous oxide (anesthesia), 13carbon compounds. b. Analysis of speciFic endogenous compounds, e.g., oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide. c. Analysis of mixtures of unidentiFied endogenous compounds (e.g., Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs) to provide a diagnostic signature. d. Analysis of exhaled particles. Current work on volatolomics centers on Finding diagnostic utility in the pattern oF compounds (VOCs) in breath. Breath analysis is an attractive proposition because this type of testing is non-invasive, applicable to the point-of-care and ofFers the possibility of real-time clinical management. Already, there are more than 10 companies Focused on the clinical diagnostic applications of volatolomics employing diverse analytical technologies (breath analysis analyzers are sometimes known as “electronic noses”). The broad range of diagnostic applications under investigation and development ranges From breath glucose testing to testing for different types of cancer.

Academic Editor: Andrea Facchinetti Received: 10 May 2016; Accepted: 15 July 2016; Published: 30 July 2016 Abstract: Breath analysis has been considered a suitable tool to evaluate diseases of the respiratory system and those that involve metabolic changes, such as diabetes. Breath acetone has long been known as a biomarker for diabetes. However, the results from published data by far have been inconclusive regarding whether breath acetone is a reliable index of diabetic screening. Large variations exist among the results of different studies because there has been no “best-practice method” for breath-acetone measurements as a result of technical problems of sampling and analysis. In this mini-review, we update the current status of our development of a laser-based breath acetone analyzer toward real-time, one-line diabetic screening and a point-of-care instrument for diabetic management.

  • Selective Gas Sensors from Flames for Breath Analysis
    Extended Abstract of: Diss. ETH No. 23990 Selective gas sensors from flames for breath analysis A thesis submitted to attain the degree of DOCTOR OF SCIENCES of ETH ZÜRICH (Dr. sc. ETH Zurich) presented by ANDREAS GÜNTNER MSc ETH Zürich born on 23.07.1987 citizen of Germany accepted on the recommendations of Prof. Dr. Sotiris E. Pratsinis, examiner Prof. Dr. Christofer Hierold, co-examiner Dr. Agapios Agapiou, co-examiner Zürich, 2017 1. Summary: Novel technology to monitor health parameters in a personalized, convenient and on-demand fashion can revolutionize medical diagnostics and treatment of major diseases (e.g. cancer, obesity, kidney dysfunction or diabetes). Current methods are invasive, thus hardly suitable for daily use or even continuous monitoring. Exhaled breath is rich in physiological information, easily accessible and therefore ideal for this purpose. For this, suitable breath detectors that are portable, low-cost, user- friendly and proven in clinical environments are needed. Despite extensive research for more than two decades, however, only few breath sensors have been translated into clinical practice. Actually, most never even left the scientific laboratories mostly failing on the demanding sensitivity and selectivity requiement in breath. In fact, most markers occur at parts-per-million (ppm) to parts-per- billion (ppb) concentrations that need to be detected within the >800 compounds in exhaled breath. In this thesis, novel sensor concepts and systems were designed to systematically address the required selectivity and sensitivity in breath analysis. Key breath markers (including ammonia, isoprene, formaldehyde and acetone) were targeted, where no reliable chemical sensors exist to date. Therefore, gas sensing materials were explored and engineered at the nanoscale by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP).

Received: 1 September 2009; in revised form: 9 October 2009 / Accepted: 10 October 2009 / Published: 19 October 2009 Abstract: Breath analysis, a promising new field of medicine and medical instrumentation, potentially offers noninvasive, real-time, and point-of-care (POC) disease diagnostics and metabolic status monitoring. Numerous breath biomarkers have been detected and quantified so far by using the GC-MS technique. Recent advances in laser spectroscopic techniques and laser sources have driven breath analysis to new heights, moving from laboratory research to commercial reality. Laser spectroscopic detection techniques not only have high-sensitivity and high-selectivity, as equivalently offered by the MS-based techniques, but also have the advantageous features of near real-time response, low instrument costs, and POC function. Of the approximately 35 established breath biomarkers, such as acetone, ammonia, carbon dioxide, ethane, methane, and nitric oxide, 14 species in exhaled human breath have been analyzed by high-sensitivity laser spectroscopic techniques, namely, tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS), integrated cavity output spectroscopy (ICOS), cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS), cavity leak-out spectroscopy (CALOS), photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS), and optical frequency comb cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (OFC-CEAS).

  • Breath Ammonia Levels in a Normal Human Population Study As Determined by Photoacoustic Laser Spectroscopy
    Breath ammonia levels in a normal human population study as determined by photoacoustic laser spectroscopy T Hibbard1 and A J Killard1,2* 1Biomedical Diagnostics Institute, National Centre for Sensor Research, Dublin City University, Dublin 9, Ireland 2Department of Applied Sciences, University of the West of England, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol BS16 1QY, UK. * [email protected] Abstract Photoacoustic laser spectroscopy was used as a technique to measure real-time levels of ammonia in exhaled human breath in a small, locally recruited, normal healthy population (n=30). This yielded an average level of breath ammonia of 265 ppb, ranging from 29 to 688 ppb. Although average levels were marginally higher in male volunteers, this was not statistically significant. In addition, no correlation could be found between age, body mass index, or breath carbon dioxide levels. Monitoring of the daily routine of two individuals showed a consistent decrease in oral breath ammonia concentrations by the early afternoon (post-prandial), but was followed by a gradual increase towards late afternoon. However, in a comparison of oral and nasal breath in two volunteers, nasal breath ammonia levels were found to be significantly lower than oral levels. In addition, the daily variation was only seen in oral rather than nasal measurements which may indicate that significant background levels are predominantly of oral origin and that nasal sampling is the preferred route to eradicate this background in future studies. These results provide a healthy human breath ammonia baseline upon which other studies may be compared. Key Words Human breath, diagnostics, volatile compound, ammonia, photoacoustic spectroscopy 1.

Setul de valori al coeficientilor de absorbtie, pentru toate lungimile de unda laser, si pentru un gaz special sau vapor se numeste spectrul de absorbtie sau “amprenta”; coeficientii de absorbtie sunt entitati absolute, unice doar la frecventa laserului si a speciilor, care ofera specificul de performanta al instrumentului in ceea ce priveste limita de detectie si respingere a interferentei. Analysis of exhaled air enables the observation of biochemical processes in the body through a noninvasive investigation. Exhaled concentration of ethylene and ammonia is increased in inflammatory diseases. We describe accurate measurements of the ethylene and ammonia absorption coefficients at the CO2 laser wavelengths by using a photoacoustic cell in an external configuration, and we compare our results with other values reported in the literature. The set of values of the absorption coefficients for all laser wavelengths and a particular gas or vapor is called the absorption spectrum or “fingerprint”; the absorption coefficients are absolute entities, unique only to the laser frequency and species, which provide the specifics of instrument performance in terms of detection limit and interference rejection.

    Special issue on Human Breath Analysis IEEE Sensors Journal 2010, 10 (1) Editorial The Future of Sensors and Instrumentation for Human Breath Analysis Davis, C. E. Frank, M. Mizaikoff, B. Oser, H. What is Normal Breath? Challenge and Opportunity Solga, S. F. Risby, T. H. Breath Analyzer for Alcolocks and Screening Devices Hok, B. Pettersson, H. Kaisdotter Andersson, A. Haasl, S. Akerlund, P. Abstract Alcolocks and alcohol screening devices are becoming commonplace, and their use is expected to grow rapidly with cost reduction and improved usability. A new breath analyzer prototype is demonstrated, with the prospects of eliminating the mouthpiece, reducing expiration time and volume, improving long-term stability, and reducing life cycle cost. Simultaneous ${hbox {CO}}_{2}$ measurements compensate for the sample dilution and unsaturated expiration. Infrared transmission spectroscopy is used for both the alcohol and ${hbox {CO}}_{2}$ measurement, yet the entire system is contained within a small handheld unit. Experimental results are reported on the device sensitivity, linearity, resolution, and influence from varying measuring distance. The correlation between early and full-time sampling was established in 60 subjects. Basic concept verification was obtained, whereas resolution and selectivity still needs to be improved. Further improvements are expected by system optimization and integration. A Novel MEMS Respiratory Flow Sensor Wei, C.-L. Lin, C.-F. Tseng, I.-T. Abstract A novel CMOS-process-compatible MEMS sensor for monitoring respiration is presented. This resistive flow sensor was manufactured by the TSMC 0.35 $mu{hbox {m}}$ CMOS/MEMS mixed-signal 2P4M Polycide process. The sensor was demonstrated to be sensitive enough to detect the respiratory flow rate, and the relationship between flow rate and sensed voltage is quite linear.

Abstract: Research activity on ceramic/graphene composites and hybrids has increased dramatically in the last decade. In this review, we provide an overview of recent contributions involving ceramics, graphene, and graphene-related materials (GRM, i.e., graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and graphene nanoplatelets) with a primary focus on applications. We have adopted a broad scope of the term ceramics, therefore including some applications of GRM with certain metal oxides and cement- based matrices in the review. Applications of ceramic/graphene hybrids and composites cover many different areas, in particular, energy production and storage (batteries, supercapacitors, solar and fuel cells), energy harvesting, sensors and biosensors, electromagnetic interference shielding, biomaterials, thermal management (heat dissipation and heat conduction functions), engineering components, catalysts, etc. A section on ceramic/GRM composites processed by additive manufacturing methods is included due to their industrial potential and waste reduction capability. All these applications of ceramic/graphene composites and hybrids are listed and mentioned in the present review, ending with the authors’ outlook of those that seem most promising, based on the research efforts carried out in this field.

By the use of infrared spectroscopy, highly discriminatory information from samples at a molecular level can be obtained and the selectivity can be enhanced. A low-volume gas cell was developed for a commercially available semiconducting MOX methane gas sensor and coupled directly to a mid-infrared gas sensor based on substrate-integrated hollow waveguide (iHWG) technology combined with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. This study demonstrates a sensing process with combined orthogonal sensors for fast, time-resolved, and synergic detection of methane and carbon dioxide in gas samples.

Received: 8 October 2018; Accepted: 22 October 2018; Published: 28 October 2018 Abstract: Ketogenic diet (KD; high fat, low carb) is a standard treatment for obesity, neurological diseases (e.g., refractory epilepsy) and a promising method for athletes to improve their endurance performance. Therein, the level of ketosis must be regulated tightly to ensure an effective therapy. Here, we introduce a compact and inexpensive breath sensor to monitor ketosis online and non- invasively. The sensor consists of Si-doped WO3 nanoparticles that detect breath acetone selectively with non-linear response characteristics in the relevant range of 1 to 66 ppm, as identified by mass spectrometry. When tested on eleven subjects (five women and six men) undergoing a 36-h KD based on the Johns Hopkins protocol, this sensor clearly recognizes the onset and progression of ketosis.
