| Abstract | Human breath is composed of many volatile metabolites that can potentially provide information about a person's health status. A sensitive assay to identify these volatile organic compounds as biomarkers is ideal and important for early detection of many diseases. However, the diagnosis through online breath analysis based on mass spectrometry is difficult due to the low concentration of pertinent compounds in breath. The DART (direct analysis in real time) ion source is a novel atmospheric pressure ionization technique, which can efficiently ionize gaseous, liquid and solid samples with high throughput. A major problem in analysis of gaseous samples is its poor detection sensitivity due to open-air sampling. Recently, a confined DART ion source (cDART) was developed, where the plasma generated by the atmospheric pressure glow discharge ionizes gas-phase molecules in a Tee-shaped flow tube instead of open air. It leads to a significant increase of the ionization efficiency of gaseous samples. In this study, the cDART source was modified and applied in online analysis of exhaled breath. The limit of detection of the improved cDART source was determined to be at the level of low ppb. The cDART source was used in the real-time monitoring of an oral anesthetic drug. The concentration variations of two active ingredients in exhaled breath, menthol and benzocaine, and their metabolites with time were obtained. The results show that the cDART ion source is a powerful analytical tool to provide high sensitivity and high throughput analysis for volatile organic compounds in human breath, and can find potential applications in clinical diagnosis and therapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
