Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 21:
22. 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 laser configured to ablate 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 laser, 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 laser ablating VOCs present within the sampling chamber;
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.
