Pyroelectric Detectors for Breath Analysis

17 Jan 2011

Ethylene and other gases found in the breath can indicate disease onset. Like most conditions, early diagnosis can lead to quicker medication and faster cure. Using this non-invasive technique (simply blow into a mouth piece) a range of medical devices are being designed. With portability in mind, many instruments are battery powered ideal for GP surgeries and Outpatient clinics.

LASER COMPONENTS supply a range of pyroelectric detectors with high signal and with single, dual, quad channels, and more, for single or multiple gas detection, such as hyrdro carbons, methane, carbon monoxide, ammonia, carbon dioxide, to name a few . These pyros with their unique patented 1µm thick PZT active material do not require temperature compensation, are insensitive to ambient temperature and mechanical (microphonic) noise, making them ideal for medical applications
