Identifying Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Originating from Breath
Advances in Breath Analysis: Novel Method for Identifying Volatile Organic Compounds and Commercial Applications A recent study introduced a novel approach combining robust breath and background collection techniques, which effectively distinguished breath volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from environmental contamination. Using thermo-desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC–MS), the researchers identified VOCs against chemical standards, producing a comprehensive […]
When was Gas Chromatography invented and by who?
Gas chromatography (GC) originated in the early 1950s through the collaborative efforts of a team led by Martin and James at the University of Chicago. British chemist Archer John Porter Martin and Australian-born British biochemist Richard Laurence Millington Synge are credited with pioneering gas-liquid chromatography, later known as gas chromatography. The inception of chromatography, a […]
