Research Products and Services

Integrate Breath Biopsy into your clinical studies with our complete range of products and services for breath collection and analysis

Supporting Your Research

Compounds on breath originate from tissues around the body and are carried to the lungs via the blood. As such, Breath Biopsy Products & Services can be used in research to study a wide range of diseases and biological processes, including respiratory conditions, liver diseases, cancers and environmental exposures. Discover more examples in our publications and case studies sections.

Breath Biopsy Overview

Breath Biopsy provides reliable non-invasive analysis of biomarkers on breath with potential applications in early detection and precision medicine. With Breath Biopsy, you can collect and analyze a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on breath with wide-ranging relevance for human health. We are also developing tools for the collection and analysis of proteins, nucleotides and pathogens from exhaled respiratory droplets.

Breath Biopsy for Respiratory Droplets

 

Our Breath Biopsy Products & Services offer a complete solution for the collection, analysis and discovery of VOC biomarkers in exhaled breath or in vitro samples. Breath Biopsy Products & Services can support clinical and in vitro VOC sample collection and give you the choice of performing your own analysis using TD-GC-MS or FAIMS technologies, or letting our expert team do the work for you at our world-leading Breath Biopsy Laboratory.

Breath Biopsy – Sample Collection

The Breath Biopsy Collection Station includes everything you need to ensure high-quality, reproducible collection of breath samples. The heart of our system is the ReCIVA® Breath Sampler, which is capable of simultaneously collecting and pre-concentrating duplicate VOC breath samples, helping to ensure robust results. Together with the background-reducing capabilities of the CASPER® Portable Air Supply, our system offers a high signal-to-noise ratio that is optimized for quality VOC biomarker discovery.

Are you looking for in vitro evidence of VOC biomarkers in your disease of interest? Or would you like to support your in vivo data with more direct biological evidence? We also provide in vitro VOC collection and analysis capabilities that could be ideal for your needs. Our systems can collect headspace VOCs from tissues, cell cultures and isolated macromolecular preparations for direct HRAM GC-MS analysis.
