“The SSX ion source is surely a masterpiece of state of the art engineering. Full understanding of the ion chemistry occurring between the ESI generated ions and VOC molecules inside will be an interesting challenge to tackle.”

Prof. Dr. med. Malcolm Kohler - University Hospital Zurich (USZ), Switzerland.

“We observed significant changes in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate, tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), and tryptophan metabolic pathways. Our findings suggest that continuous monitoring of metabolite shifts from exhaled air should focus on monitoring platforms dedicated to volatile and slightly volatile metabolites”

Dr. Prof. Jangjiang Zhu - The Ohio State University, Ohio, USA. 

“Our results suggested that the optimized SESI-HRMS method can be suitable forthe analysis of VFAs from gut microbes in a rapid, sensitive, and non-invasive manner.”

Dr. Prof. Renato Zenobi - ETH Zurich, Switzerland

“When SESI is combined with state-​of-the-art mass spectrometers, low limits of detection (pptv) are achievable without any sample pre-​concentration. We exploit this feature in our lab in a number of projects which require fast mass spectrometric analysis of vapors at trace concentrations.”

Dr. Prof.  Xue Li - Jinan University, Guangzhou, China. 

““IAV infection induces a cascade of metabolite alterations, some of which are excreted via the skin and breath to the ambient air. Such IAV-induced odor traits could be captured by SESI-HRMS by simply dragging the air surrounding the infected mice into the analyzer. The process is non-invasive and rapid, as it requires no sample manipulation.”

Dr. Prof. Pablo Sinues - University Children’s Hospital Basel, University of Basel, Switzerland

“We use SESI-HRMS to sense exhaled molecules at minute concentrations. Since the analysis requires no sample-preparation or manipulation, the diagnostic result can be obtained nearly in real-time. This technology is especially well suited for children due to its non-invasive nature”

Dr. Prof. Lars M. Blank - Institute of Applied Microbiology at RWTH Aachen University
