Outline of Final Research Achievements

Based on the concentration and collection analysis technology of trace gases that were developed by the applicants, in order to enhance the analytical precision of formaldehyde obtained from urine, in the present study, we proposed a high-performance concentrated type sampler and bio-gas sampling instrument for urine with the aim of conducting research that will contribute to the establishment of a malignant tumor disease inspection method to verify the collection and analyses.
Our results suggest that based on the relationship between chemical concentrations in artificial urine and chemical concentrations dissipated in the gas of the gas emitting part (bubbler part), it is possible to determine the concentrations of chemical substances in urine by measuring biological gas generated from subject specimens (urine). Thus, this basic research contributes to the establishment of an examination method for malignant tumor diseases.
