Abstract

An arrangement for the collection, concentration, and optional analysis of volatile organic components in a alveolar breath includes a condensation unit which removes water vapor from the alveolar breath.

Claims (6)

1. Arrangement for collection of volatile organic components in alveolar breath comprising a hollow container having a first end and a second end, a breath entry portal proximal to the first end, a breath exit portal proximal to the second end, and a sampling portal between the entry and the exit portals;
a condensation unit connected to the sampling portal, and a sorbent trap connected to the condensation unit.
2. Arrangement for collection of volatile organic components in alveolar breath according to claim 1 further comprising a coupler which delivers exhaled breath from a subject to the breath entry portal.
3. Arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the sampling portal is proximal to the breath entry portal and distal to the breath exit portal.
4. Arrangement according to claim 1 further comprising a thermal desorption unit connected to the absorbent trap.
5. Arrangement according to claim 4 further comprising a mobile assay unit connected to the sorbent trap.
6. A method for analyzing volatile organic components in alveolar breath comprising:
receiving a breath sample in a breath reservoir, conveying the breath sample to a condensor, removing water vapor present in the breath sample in the condensor, thereafter contacting the breath sample with a sorbent trap, and analyzing volatile organic components absorbed into the sorbent trap.
