In breath analysis, two different and complementary approaches may be used for a system based on an array of sensors. The first one relies on the use of selective sensors in order to recognize one or a few specific VOCs. The second approach, which is the most implemented, employs cross-reactive sensors in order to extract global qualitative information about the considered sample, instead focusing on a single parameter. This chapter examines the state of the art and the latest technologies regarding sensors and interfaces involved in the detection of volatile compounds.

Abstract

In breath analysis, two different and complementary approaches may be used for a system based on an array of sensors. The first one relies on the use of selective sensors in order to recognize one or a few specific VOCs. The second approach, which is the most implemented, employs cross-reactive sensors in order to extract global qualitative information about the considered sample, instead focusing on a single parameter. This chapter examines the state of the art and the latest technologies regarding sensors and interfaces involved in the detection of volatile compounds.
