Abstract :
[en] Within an ongoing European project on breath
analysis by IOMS, sensitivity of sensors to various VOCs is
studied, as breath VOCs are considered as lung cancer
biomarkers. Sensitivities of several commercial metal oxide
sensors to various VOC have been studied. It was found that
two sensors reacted to decane presence. This is an unusual
property for metal oxide gas sensors. This paper shows
obtained results and details the methodology employed to
obtain them.
