Abstract Rapid, non-destructive, accurate, and high-throughput screening of volatile
ingredients plays an important role in the field of analysis. Gas chromatography–ion mobility …

Pathogenic microorganisms produce numerous metabolites, including volatile organic
compounds (VOCs). Monitoring these metabolites in biological matrices (eg, urine, blood, or …

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a particularly challenging cancer, with very
low 5-year survival rates. This low survival rate is linked to late stage diagnosis, associated …

Early detection of late-onset sepsis (LOS) in preterm infants is crucial since timely treatment
initiation is a key prognostic factor. We hypothesized that fecal volatile organic compounds …

Diagnosis of bacterial infections until today mostly relies on conventional microbiological
methods. The resulting long turnaround times can lead to delayed initiation of adequate …

Surgical site infection represents a large burden of care in the National Health Service.
Current methods for diagnosis include a subjective clinical assessment and wound swab …

The development of screening methods for various types of cancer is of utmost importance
as the early diagnostics of these diseases significantly increases the chances for patient's …

This study aimed to identify carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) based on
changes in levels of its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in simulated blood cultures …

Chorioamnionitis is a major risk factor for preterm birth and an independent risk factor for
postnatal morbidity for which currently successful therapies are lacking. Emerging evidence …

Interest in the use of GC-IMS for the detection of volatiles has seen a rapid expansion over
the last decade. The following chapter will focus on classical GC-IMS and its research …
