Advancing Breath Test Analysis Through Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry 🔬
Another great story of collaboration and scientific capacity building.
Through an equipment donation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Food and Nutrition Research Institute is strengthening its capabilities for ¹³C breath sample analysis using the GasBench-IRMS system.
A big thank you to Chris Cheah of Thermo Fisher Scientific for sharing his expertise and conducting a successful GasBench-IRMS training at FNRI with Johanne Guilaran and his team, helping establish the foundation for their analytical method development.
Beyond breath analysis, Johanne’s team is also looking forward to exploring ¹³C and ²H isotope analysis in amino acids from plasma and food samples, opening new possibilities for research.
We’re excited to see how this technology will support impactful research and advance isotope-based analysis in the Philippines.
