A preliminary study of a novel mass spectrometry based system for monitoring gases and VOCs evolved during composting of green kitchen waste

Abstract

A device that incorporates an advanced sampling system, which is universal, presents a dynamic response, and controls the amount and the frequency of sampling is reported.

Addressing challenges in using breath chemical analysis in smartphone-based health diagnostics

“…The last years there is a strong trend in reducing the size and weight of traditional bench top lab instruments such as GC, GC-MS, MS, IMS, as well as, a tendency for miniaturization of those instruments. A review of miniaturized mass spectrometry systems has been recently presented in [3]. In addition great advancements in communications allow for building robust, credible, low cost solutions in remote medical diagnostics; this is especially true for mobile phones.…”
