Overview
Breath Biopsy Kits - Overview
Breath Biopsy Kits contain the Breath Biopsy Cartridges and Mouthpieces to enable breath sample collection with the ReCIVA® Breath Sampler. Each kit contains a Breath Biopsy Cartridge to collect, stabilize and pre-concentrate VOCs, enhancing the sensitivity of detection, and a disposable Breath Biopsy Mouthpiece.

Kits can support sample collection whether you're interested in untargeted VOC discovery or targeted VOC analysis. You can even opt for Breath Biopsy OMNI and let us support you at all stages for reliable, global biomarker discovery. OMNI combines our expertise in study planning, management, breath collection, breath analysis, and statistical analysis and reporting to provide you with the best quality result.
Our discovery services have been developed to help detect prospective VOC biomarkers with evidence of association to diseases of interest, such as lung cancer or respiratory diseases, or pre-selected biochemical processes including inflammation and oxidative stress. Kits are also in use for exposure research studies, examining the health impacts of environmental factors.

Breath Biopsy Cartridges
Cartridge Conditioning & QC
Each Breath Biopsy Cartridge contains two pairs of VOC sample tubes prepared using our proprietary conditioning and QC process which includes:
- Thermal conditioning to ensure low levels of residual VOCs are removed and to enable enhanced sensitivity for breath analysis methods
- Stringent QC - blank tubes are analyzed to ensure VOC levels below background threshold
- Caps protect from contamination before and after sampling
Breath Biopsy Mouthpiece
Mouthpiece Conditioning & QC
Breath Biopsy Mouthpieces have a 1-year shelf life and are designed to minimize contamination during breath collection by providing a reliable barrier to the ingress of ambient air.
- Manufactured from materials that do not emit VOC contaminants
- Sealed in tamper-evident packaging, ready for use
- Includes a high-efficiency, low-resistance bacterial filter
Where required by your study specifications, ReCIVA can be provided with Masks instead of Mouthpieces. Talk to our Sales team about how we can support your breath collection needs.
