Abstract
We introduce a novel method for efficient collection of analytes of low volatility from human breath, liquid secondary adsorption (LSA), and the application of this method to drug detection with mass spectrometry. Cannabis legalization has occurred in many jurisdictions, creating a need for a simple method for detection of recency of use. Most existing breath sampling methods rely on a time consuming and complex process of adsorption of the analyte of interest, and still often result in low collection efficiencies. The pilot study shows the capability of a breath capture technique and mass spectrometry add on analysis device (Cannabix Breath Analysis System) to easily collect breath samples in the field and rapidly analyze them without complex sample preparation. The study also shows correlation between the breath data collected with this method and blood Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Breath Research is dedicated to all aspects of scientific breath research. The traditional focus is on analysis of volatile compounds and aerosols in exhaled breath for the investigation of exogenous exposures, metabolism, toxicology, health status and the diagnosis of disease and breath odours. The journal also welcomes other breath-related topics.
Typical areas of interest include:
Big laboratory instrumentation: describing new state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation capable of performing high-resolution discovery and targeted breath research; exploiting complex technologies drawn from other areas of biochemistry and genetics for breath research.
Engineering solutions: developing new breath sampling technologies for condensate and aerosols, for chemical and optical sensors, for extraction and sample preparation methods, for automation and standardization, and for multiplex analyses to preserve the breath matrix and facilitating analytical throughput. Measure exhaled constituents (e.g. CO2, acetone, isoprene) as markers of human presence or mitigate such contaminants in enclosed environments.
Human and animal in vivo studies: decoding the ''breath exposome'', implementing exposure and intervention studies, performing cross-sectional and case-control research, assaying immune and inflammatory response, and testing mammalian host response to infections and exogenous exposures to develop information directly applicable to systems biology. Studying inhalation toxicology; inhaled breath as a source of internal dose; resultant blood, breath and urinary biomarkers linked to inhalation pathway.
Cellular and molecular level in vitro studies.
Clinical, pharmacological and forensic applications.
Mathematical, statistical and graphical data interpretation.
