Simulating human breath: The complete guide to generating VOC and humidity calibration standards

The accurate analysis of exhaled breath VOCs requires precise calibration of laboratory instrumentation. At Owlstone Medical we have developed expertise in generating calibration standards for the simulation of human breath.

This free downloadable guide provides all the information you need to correctly calibrate gas sensors for biomarker analysis of breath and other clinical samples, including:

  • Generation of accurate, precise and repeatable calibration gases using permeation tubes
  • Key equations for calculating gas concentrations and humidity
  • A review of humidity generation methods
