Diagnostics
Urgent need for rapid, simple to use, point of care diagnostics
Detection of breath-based disease biomarkers is a viable approach using microGC
Does not require development of disease-specific reagents (primers, antibodies, etc.), but instead relies on pattern of VOCs in patient breath to provide immediate assessment
VOC biomarkers have been investigated for multiple diseases, including asthma, COPD, CF, pneumonia and TB
Investigating detection of COVID-19 using microGC technology
