Did you know that every time you exhale you are releasing thousands of molecules into the ambient air? Breath is a diagnostically underexploited body fluid, which contains valuable bio-chemical information about health status. However, nowadays very few diagnostic tests rely on exhaled air. Our mission is to reverse this situation by uncapping the potential that breath analysis holds as a non-invasive method to assist in clinical decision making. To do this, we use modern analytical platforms combined with sophisticated computational tools. In particular, we use modified mass spectrometers, which have been designed 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.
