Abstract
The concept that blood, urine, and other body fluids and tissues can be sampled and studied to yield clinical information for diagnosis of disease states or to monitor tissue injury or therapy is the foundation of modern clinical diagnosis and medical practice. The use of breath as a collectable sample has not received similar clinical use mainly due to the low concentrations of potential marker molecules in breath.
