Chinese researchers have developed a simple, rapid device for detecting volatile organic compounds on the breath, demonstrating potential for early cancer detection Researchers from Chongqing University in China have developed a high sensitive fluorescence-based sensor device that can rapidly identify cancer related volatile organic compounds — biomarkers found exclusively in the exhaled breath of some

A tiny capsule that can carry out a chemical analysis of the contents of one’s stomach could identify the presence of so-called “occult” blood at very low levels.
