Abstract

Breath analysis enables rapid, noninvasive diagnosis of human health by identifying and quantifying exhaled biomarker. Here, we demonstrated an exhaled breath sensing method using the near-infrared laser spectroscopy, and sub parts-per-million (ppm) level ammonia detection inside the exhaled gas was achieved employing a distributed feedback laser centered at 1512 nm and Kalman filtering algorithm. Integration of the ammonia sensor was realized for exhaled breath analysis of kidney patients, and a dual operation mechanism with static and dynamic modes was proposed to make this method applicable for real-time and comprehensive pre-diagnosis of kidney disease.
