Breath Biopsy® Collection Station
The complete package for reliable in vivo Breath Biopsy sample collection
- Robust, non-invasive sample collection with ReCIVA® Breath Sampler
- Efficient and portable ambient VOC exclusion with CASPER® Portable Air Supply
- Reliable sampling data collection and reporting with Breath Biopsy Collect software
- Collect simultaneous replicate samples with Breath Biopsy Kits (sold separately)
Introduction
The Breath Biopsy® Collection Station provides the tools you need to collect non-invasive, reproducible breath samples using Breath Biopsy. The Station includes the ReCIVA Breath Sampler for sample collection, the CASPER Portable Air Supply to exclude background contaminants from samples and a laptop with the Breath Biopsy Collect software that allows you to operate ReCIVA and that provides visual feedback on sampling progress.
Each sample collection also requires a single-use Breath Biopsy Kit. Each kit contains a disposable Breath Biopsy Mouthpiece and the Breath Biopsy Cartridge which captures VOCs for analysis. If you're looking for a complete solution for reliable breath analysis, the Breath Biopsy Collection Station is available combined with sample processing and an expert support package as part of Breath Biopsy OMNI.
Breath Biopsy Collection Stations have been deployed in over 100 locations worldwide for research applications including respiratory diseases, liver diseases, cancer and environmental exposures.
Breath Biopsy Products and Services are for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

ReCIVA
ReCIVA Breath Sampler
|
|
Owlstone Medical developed ReCIVA together with a multi-disciplinary group of leaders in breath research. Our goal was to enable reliable, reproducible and non-invasive breath sample collection that allows consistent sampling across different clinical setting and research applications. A laptop and Breath Biopsy Collect software are also provided to calibrate and monitor ReCIVA during sample collection.

Features
-
Robust and reproducible
Each Breath Biopsy Cartridge includes four independent adsorbent tubes for simultaneous VOC collection, providing multiple experimental replicates
-
Sensitive
Pre-concentration of VOCs directly from breath onto adsorbent tubes allows more VOCs to be captured per sample increasing the sensitivity of the system to low abundance VOCs
-
Selective
Breath pattern recognition means ReCIVA can collect specific breath fractions, allowing targeted analysis from different regions of the airways
-
Comfortable and Safe
ReCIVA is non-invasive, safe and easy to use, making it suitable for breath sampling with almost any subject group across a wide range of disease contexts
-
Analysis Options
VOC samples can be analyzed with a range of tools including GC-MS and FAIMS while respiratory droplets are compatible with established analytical processes
-
Flexible
The quality of seal produced by the standard ReCIVA mouthpiece when used correctly, provides a high degree of flexibility for use with various face shapes.

CASPER
CASPER Portable Air Supply
 |
The ReCIVA Breath Sampler is used in conjunction with CASPER Portable Air Supply, designed to improve breath sampling by reducing the abundance of VOCs in inhaled air. CASPER filters ambient air which is inhaled by subjects, this helps to ensure than more of the VOCs in exhaled air originate from within the subject’s body and not from the surroundings. CASPER is designed for portability and ease of use.

Breath Biopsy Kits
 |
Breath Biopsy Kits contain all the consumable components you will need to collect breath samples using Breath Biopsy. Each Kit includes a Breath Biopsy Mouthpiece and Breath Biopsy Cartridge, which together fit into the ReCIVA Breath Sampler. Breath Biopsy Mouthpieces are disposable and are coated to minimize sample contamination. They provide comfort during breath collection by forming a soft contact with the face while also helping to prevent VOC sample contamination from the surrounding air. Breath Biopsy Cartridges capture and stabilize VOCs during sampling. Cartridges can be shipped for analysis with our Breath Biopsy Services or stored for analysis in your own facility. |

Research Case Studies
Breath Biopsy can detect a wide range of analytes in exhaled breath. These tests are non-invasive and offer high patient comfort, but more importantly are highly sensitive and selective. Breath Biopsy is suited to a wide range of applications in early detection, precision medicine and exposure research.
