Description
- Abstract
- This phase i sbir will develop a microfabricated breath biomarker analyzer. There is an unmet need for easy-to-use, cost-effective, miniature devices for rapid, specific, and sensitive analysis of breath biomarkers, especially volatile organic compounds (vocs). The proposed analyzer is built on high-performance mems (microelectromechanical systems) gas chromatography (GC) columns. A preliminary study demonstrated the mems column's high separation efficiency and speed, and developed a functional prototype of one-dimensional micro GC with a single mems column. In this phase i study, the mems column technology will be adopted to develop a microfabricated comprehensive two-dimensional GC (micro gcxgc), so as to significantly improve the separation power of micro GC and address the need for breath VOC biomarker/profile analysis. Phase i specific aims are to create a prototype sampling device for extraction and preconcentration of breath vocs, demonstrate gcxgc with two mems columns having orthogonal selectivity for breath vocs on a benchtop GC, and create a proof-of-concept prototype of the proposed mems column based breath VOC analyzer. The proposed product aims to address the unmet need for point-of-need breath biomarker studies. IT is expected to have wide applications for personal exposure assessment and health status monitoring.
