Apparatus and method for monitoring breath acetone and diabetic diagnostics
Patent
·
OSTI ID:943439
- Los Alamos, NM
An apparatus and method for monitoring diabetes through breath acetone detection and quantitation employs a microplasma source in combination with a spectrometer. The microplasma source provides sufficient energy to produce excited acetone fragments from the breath gas that emit light. The emitted light is sent to the spectrometer, which generates an emission spectrum that is used to detect and quantify acetone in the breath gas.
