Breath specimen collectors, including Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) Collectors, must be completely free of particulate and chemical contamination to ensure valid biomarker data. There is a common misconception that standard sterilization methods used in...
ABSTRACT: Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) is easy to collect using the RTube and can be used as a tool in clinical and diagnostic research. Data was recorded on how much exhaled breath condensate the RTube collects at different timepoints over a ten-minute span under...
The Case for Filtration The RTube Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) Collector is amazingly effective at trapping particles, droplets, and aerosols present in the patient’s exhaled breath. This is why so many studies rely on the RTube to capture exhaled biomarkers...
As a research tool, analysis of biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate continues to be refined and reshaped as new potential applications are discovered. Collection methods, analysis techniques, and biomarker targets are being combined in new and novel ways. ...
The RTube is perfect for collecting Exhaled Breath Condensate from humans. As a bonus, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) which are readily soluble in water can also be easily collected in the RTube as they will naturally dissolve into the condensate. But what...
New research from the University of California San Francisco suggests how non-invasive breath tests could predict a patient’s likelihood of developing lung cancer. Dr. Daya Upadhyay, Medical Director of the Lung Nodule Program at UCSF, presented her findings at the...
