Breath Holder
Offline breath analysis system
Breath holder is a complete solution for offline analysis of VOC samples, including collection, preservation, transport, and SESI-MS analysis.
Designed to facilitate Super SESI analysis with:
A distributed sampling network,
Minimum sample interaction, and
Controlled preservation conditions preventing condensation and diffusion losses.
The Breath Holder System comprises:
VOC Storage system
Interface to Super SESI, for a seamless sample introduction and analysis
Breath sampling interface, compatible with EXHALION (for breath analysis). Guides the exhalation maneuver and collects a pre-defined breath fraction based on exhaled CO2, flow, and volume thresholds.
Breath Holder Benefits
Offline Breath Analysis with minimized confounders:
- Standardized exhalation maneuver and sample collection of desired lung fraction, compatible with online analysis.
- Controlled sample storage from collection to analysis: Nalophan – Stainless Steel chemical barrier with active temperature control and logging.
- Offline analysis is ideal for distributed sampling and high throughput studies where statistical significance is key
- Sampling canisters are ideal to minimize sample–sampler interactions and artifacts
► Breath Holder facilitates distributed sampling.
► Breath Holder minimizes confounding factors.
► Breath Holder is ideal for large-scale studies with several sampling sites and a central SESI-HRMS lab.
