International ClassesG01N 023/00G01N 021/00 AbstractA system and method that allows for early detection of biological conditions, such as a disease, through analysis of appropriate gaseous samples. The system and method are particularly amenable to the early screening for diseases, such as lung cancer, through the detection of specific biomarkers when present in exhaled breath from an individual. A preferred system implements a CO overtone laser that generates radiation and directs it through a photoacoustic cell. The absorption of the radiation is detected acoustically, and the absorption characteristics are utilized in determining the presence of a specific biological condition.Other References
