Abstract:Human
skin emits a unique set of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs).
These VOCs can be probed in order to obtain physiological information
about the individuals. However, extracting the VOCs that emanate from
human skin for analysis is troublesome and time-consuming. Therefore,
we have developed “Mass Specthoscope”a convenient
tool for rapid sampling and detecting VOCs emitted by human skin.
The hand-held probe with a pressurized tip and wireless button enables
sampling VOCs from surfaces and their transfer to… Show more
