Breath test

The work could open up a whole new area of medical diagnostics and health research

Take a look at this Spectroscopy Now article, which highlights work from Robert Peverall and colleagues on the detection of trace species in breath using near infrared Fourier transform broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy.

The paper is in the latest issue of Analyst, and can be accessed using the link below:
