Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of breath detection. Background technique
[0002] Studies have shown that human methanogens and the concentration of methane produced in exhaled breath can be used to detect intestinal diseases, including gastrointestinal microecological imbalance, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. The research of laboratory analytical instruments shows that the normal concentration range of methane exhaled gas is 1-10ppm. If it is lower than 1ppm, it is considered to lack methanogenic bacteria or not produce methane gas. If it is higher than 10ppm, it is diagnosed as excessive reproduction of methanogenic bacteria or growth, which may lead to constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, or even colorectal cancer (see North American Consensus on Exhaled Hydrogen and Methane Testing for Gastrointestinal Diseases, 2017). However, at present, the technologies that can meet the measurement lower limit and accuracy requireme...
