[h=1]Novel Isoprene Sensor for a Flu Virus Breath Monitor.[/h] Gouma PI[SUP]1,[/SUP][SUP]2[/SUP], Wang L[SUP]3[/SUP], Simon SR[SUP]4[/SUP], Stanacevic M[SUP]5[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] A common feature of the inflammatory response in patients who have actually contracted influenza is the generation of a number of volatile products of the alveolar and airway epithelium. These products include a number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitric oxide (NO). These may be used as biomarkers to detect the disease. A portable 3-sensor array microsystem-based tool that can potentially detect flu infection biomarkers is described here. Whether used in connection with in-vitro cell culture studies or as a single exhale breathalyzer, this device may be used to provide a rapid and non-invasive screening method for flu and other virus-based epidemics.
