In cooperation with Brussels Airport, this nasal-swab ultra-fast PCR test, as well as the new breath sampler developed by imec and licensed by miDiagnostics, will be tested in practice during a study at the airport’s Test Centre. ...
Cairn Diagnostics, an innovative leader in providing cutting-edge breath tests intended for routine use in diagnostic medicine, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded the approval of the Company’s 13C-Spirulina Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT) to now include “at home” administration under virtual ...
Unfortunately, moisture is an impediment to successful breath analysis. Moisture in breath samples can adversely impact the accuracy of breath analysis and damage devices. As such, respiratory device providers seek robust solutions that reduce moisture from breath samples and help yield accurate ...
Much of the innovation pertains to the ease-of-information: rather than having to draw a patient’s blood, this portable, point-of-care device simply uses a 90 second patient breath sample that is patient-effort independent. In other words, the device works with any patient simply breathing normally. ...
A recent clinical study published by medical researchers from UC San Diego School of Medicine has established that an expired breath sampling method is comparable to the long-established blood-based method (ABG) of measuring pulmonary gas exchange efficiency. ...
There is a high probability that this disease can be detected in the exhaled breath but also monitoring the impact of treatment or medication in exhaled breath is highly relevant. IONICON PTR-TOF systems have become the de-facto standard for real-time breath analysis. Learn what they offer for COVID-19 detection in breath. ...
Sampling exhaled breath is non-invasive and simple. But the analysis is the challenge: Several hundred volatile compounds have so far been identified in exhaled breath and their range of concentrations, typically in the parts-per-billion range, are a challenge to most modern analyzers. IONICON PTR-TOF systems are particularly well suited for ...
Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, and Owlstone Medical, the global leader in Breath Biopsy for applications in early disease detection and precision medicine, have entered into a collaborative partnership to advance the early diagnosis of cancer and other diseases through the discovery and validation of novel biomarkers by non-invasive ...
In September the International Association for Breath Research (IABR)’s Breath Summit 2019 took place in Leicestershire, UK. IONICON participated as an exhibitor and with scientific contributions, also conducting a crowd breath experiment. Numerous excellent talks covered the whole spectrum of breath analysis could be ...
The GEBT, conducted over a four-hour period after an overnight fast, is designed to show how fast the stomach empties solids by measuring carbon dioxide in a patient’s breath. Patients have baseline breath tests conducted at the beginning of the test. They then eat a special test meal that includes a scrambled egg-mix and Spirulina platensis, a type of ...
Cairn Diagnostics, formerly known as Advanced Breath Diagnostics (ABDiagnostics), has launched the 13C-Spirulina Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT). ...
In support of its clients who are affected by this disease, Shrader & Associates, LLP is excited about the “electronic nose,”—a test developed by researchers in Italy and the Netherlands that analyzes breath samples to detect compounds indicating mesothelioma. Traditionally, mesothelioma diagnosis requires a biopsy, a procedure that can ...
