Real-time Breath Analysis by Using Secondary Nanoelectrospray Ionization Coupled to High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

The overall goal of this experiment is to characterize chemical composition of exhaled breath using secondary nanoelectrospray ionization coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry. This method can help to answer key questions in the medical field such as early diagnosis of diseases, therapeutic check monitoring, and environmental exposure. The main advantage of the technique is the measurement can be performed in real time.

The technique is also highest output, sensitive, specific, and user friendly. The implications of this technique have been extend to the diagnosis of lung cancer. Because chance of bio marker candidates have been find in exhaled breath of lung caner patients at different stages.
