Personalized drug dosage with breath analysis demonstrated in a clinical setting
Converting data to knowledge can be a daunting task because breath samples are complex. This gap has been bridged with high-quality data and advanced metabolomics data analysis techniques.
The excellent research on breath analysis lead by Prof. Dr. Malcolm Kohler and his team at USZ will now have an even higher throughput.
For this, statistical and biological relevance are essential.
You can now use the SimpleLINK UNO-16 even simpler!
You can now use the SimpleLINK UNO-16 even simpler!
For those who use 1/16" fittings, SimpleLINK UNO-16 can be your best friend to connect the column and the emitter.
This is what we are doing to expand the applications of SUPER SESI
We are developing several peripheral systems to expand how you can use Super SESI to your advantage.

ESI stands for Electro-Spray Ionization.
The second edition of "Breathborne Biomarkers and the Human Volatilome" is available and we are proud to have co-authored it!
Chapter 12, co-authored by Jiayi Lan, Francisco Blanco Parte, Guillermo Vidal-de-Miguel, and prof. Renato Zenobi, from ETH Zürich and Fossil Ion Technology, shows how SESI greatly enhances breath analysis capabilities.
June and July have been very prolific for researchers working with SESI in fields such as breath analysis and microbiology
Congratulations to Jérôme Kaeslin, Renato Zenobi, Jiayi Lan, Tobias Bruderer, Alexander Moeller, Amanda Gisler, and Pablo Sinues for your great contribution to science! We are proud to be at your service.
Another batch of emitters delivered this week!
Never again compromise the quality of your experiment for extending the life of an old tip. We re-engineered the way emitters are produced to achieve very tight tolerances and full traceability at the best price.Thanks to all our customers for your trust!
Our SUPER SESI is ready to be delivered to the NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre - Respiratory to join the fight against COVID-19!
Dr. Mike Wilde, of the East Midlands Breathomics Pathology Node (EMBER) Council, has been awarded this SUPER SESI of the "Together we fight COVID" program for his brilliant project proposal "Breath analysis by SESI-HRMS within a multi-omic platform for patient stratification in COVID-19 pneumonia".
We are ready to deliver our nanoESI emitters, and we are officially taking orders!
We named them the Sharp Singularity because they are sharp and because... we think it sounds cool... also because the spray forms a mathematical singularity in the cone-jet mode.
Do you want to know more about ionization with SUPER SESI?
Guillermo Vidal-de-Miguel, our CEO, explains it in detail! We hope you enjoy it ;)
SUPER SESI installed at Sun Yat-Sen University
Congrats to our partners in China for the smooth installation.FIT stays fully active. We are committed to our duty regardless of any difficulties and hard circumstances.

How to obtain consistent results in breath analysis with SUPER SESI and EXHALION?
To ensure the reliability of the breath test data, this study includes a systematic evaluation of the sources of variability and strategies to minimize their impact.
How to identify correlating metabolites and confirm their identity in breath with Super SESI?
This paper, published by our colleagues at ETH Zurich, reports the detection of a whole series of ω-oxidation products of unbranched medium-chain fatty acids in exhaled breath (ω-hydroxy alkanoic acids, ω-oxoalkanoic acids, and alkanedioic acids) with carbon chain lengths of 5-15. These metabolites correlated with the ω-oxidation pathway in a study with 146 healthy individuals.
How SUPER SESI can help to identify biomarkers of lung damage?
Molecular breath analysis supports altered amino acid metabolism in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).This paper, authored by our colleagues from the University of Zurich, shows that amino acids detected by breath analysis in real-time correlate with ongoing fibrotic processes.
