These ALTEF breath collection bags (made of PVDF film) with mouthpiece are developed for breath-gas sampling/ analysis and are available in 0,6/ 1 or 1,2 liter.

The breath samples can be analysed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs). Some examples of the applications are: Lung cancer detection, Diabetes detection, Organ rejection detection, Fructose malabsorption with hydrogen breath test and Carbon monoxide poisoning detection.
