Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, SIFT-MS, is a non-separative method for direct quantitative analyses of volatile compounds, VOCs, in air and humid breath based on chemical ionization. Selected reagent ions, either H3O+, NO+ or O-2(+) (non-reactive with major components of air), ionize analyte molecules during a defined time in a flow tube by ion-molecule reactions thus producing analyte ions that are characteristic of the neutral analyte VOCs. Concentrations can be calculated in real-time from the ion count rates. Direct on-line analysis of single or multiple breath exhalations or off-line analysis of breath samples collected into bags can be performed. Several volatile breath metabolites have been quantified by SIFT-MS, including ammonia, acetone, hydrogen cyanide, alcohols, pentane, acetic acid, methane, and sulphur compounds. Their potential as biomarkers is discussed. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of The Association for Mass Spectrometry: Applications to the Clinical Lab (MSACL).
