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.
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.
