Breath analysis — breathomics / volatolomics — detects cancer, infection, and metabolic disease from exhaled VOCs, aerosols, and microbiomes. This is the open global hub for the breath research community: a searchable database of 305 organizations worldwide, along with technology primers, clinical/regulatory signals, and resources for collaboration.
Breath analysis spans many technologies — FAIMS, GC-MS, e-nose, MSS, nanoparticle biomarker tagging — and information sources for clinical, regulatory, and IP are fragmented. We structure this landscape along four axes (tech / clinical / business / IP) and place it in the context of international standardization efforts.
Filter by layer, technology, disease, region, and prominence. See full profiles with technology details, collaborations, and SWOT. v2 adds GeNose, Menssana, Ancon, Delfi, Nightingale, and 35 more.
FAIMS, GC-MS/GC-IMS, SIFT-MS, PTR-MS, SESI, e-nose (MOS), MSS, NBT, optical (NIR/MIR/QCL), RF/THz. Principles, sensitivity, sampling standards, operational cost.
Monthly highlights from ClinicalTrials.gov, leading journals (J Breath Res, Metabolites, Anal Chem), FDA/EMA/PMDA notices, and major conferences.
Organizations that pioneered research, clinical work, and commercialization in breath analysis. Technology, evidence, and collaborations for each are in the organization database.
