Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 20:
21. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for analyzing a breath sample, the operations comprising:
activating a photodiode array configured to excite and/or heat volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present within a sampling chamber subsequent to a breath sample being provided to the sampling chamber, the sampling chamber comprising a molecule collector disposed within the sampling chamber, and the molecule collector configured to adhere VOCs present in the breath sample;
concurrent with activating the photodiode array, introducing a vacuum in an analysis device;
identifying, using the analysis device, one or more target VOCs from among the VOCs present in the sampling chamber subsequent to release of at least a portion of the VOCs from the molecule collector, wherein at least the portion of the VOCs are released from the molecule collector by the photodiode array exciting and/or heating the molecule collector;
generating an output representative of the one or more target VOCs, wherein the output representative of the one or more target VOCs comprises information that quantitates a concentration of the one or more target VOCs with respect to a source of the breath sample; and
concurrent with at least generating the output representative of the one or more target VOCs, cleaning the sampling chamber by:
further heating the sampling chamber; and
evacuating the sampling chamber and the analysis device using the vacuum.
