ISTM Research themes: 1. Clinical & Diagnostic Science - Breath Analysis Group
2. Bioengineering & Therapeutics
Research Interests:
Physics and chemistry of ionised gases with special reference to ion-molecule reaction.
Development of analytical instruments that exploit gas phase ionic reactions for the analysis of trace gases in air (for environmental monitoring) and breath analysis (for non-invasive clinical diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring).
Current Projects include:
(i) Quantification of metabolites in breath of patients with end-stage renal failure, pre- and post-dialysis.
(ii). Determination of total body water by measuring the deuterium content of single breath exhalations following ingestion of D2O.
(iii). Identifying and quantifying metabolites emitted by tumour cells, both in vivo and in vitro.
Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry, SIFT-MS
Schematic diagram of selected ion flow tube (SIFT) apparatus.
SIFT-MS has been designed and constructed to allow on-line, real time analyses of the trace gases in ambient (polluted) air, exhaled breath and the headspace of aqueous liquids. The SIFT-MS analytical method combines fast flow tube techniques and quantitative mass spectrometry. The air/breath/headspace sample is introduced into fast flowing helium carrier gas where the trace gases in the sample react with embedded reagent ions (H3O+, NO+ or O2+) to produce characteristic product ions that identify the trace gases, and accurate quantification is achieved from knowledge of the kinetics of the ion/trace gas molecule reactions. Unlike other analytical techniques, an important feature of SIFT-MS analyses is that sample collection into bags or onto traps are not required, which can compromise the sample, and time consuming calibration is unnecessary. This allows the direct analysis of single exhalations of breath and provides the scientist/clinician with immediate results. Rapid non-invasive analyses of breath can now be routinely performed in the clinical environment with minimal stress to the patients, which is new route to clinical diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring.
Flowing Afterglow Mass Spectrometry (FA-MS)
The principle of the FA-MS technique is similar to that of SIFT-MS in that it exploits ion chemistry coupled with fast flow tube techniques and quantitative mass spectrometry. However, FA-MS is specifically used for the on-line determination of the deuterium content of water vapour in exhaled breath and the vapour above aqueous liquids. Thus, for example, the deuterium content of single breath exhalations can be measured following the ingestion of a small known amount of deuterium oxide when, following the principle of isotope dilution, the total body water of the subject can be obtained, which is proving to be particularly useful in nephrology.
