The use of proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry for analysis of volatile organic compounds in breath and microbial headspace
The proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer (PTR-MS) was used to analyse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in human breath and the headspace above microbial cultures. Real-time expirograms of acetone, isoprene and methanol show that end-expired VOC concentration depends on duration of exhalation...
