Electronic noses (eNoses) are an emerging class of experimental diagnostic tools. They are based on the detection of volatile organic compounds. Urine is used as sample medium in several publications but neither the effect of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on the analysis nor the potential to detect CKD has been explored. Materials & methods: We utilized an eNose based on field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) technology to classify urine samples from CKD patients and controls. Results: We were able to differentiate extremes of kidney function with an accuracy of 81.4%. Conclusion: In this preliminary study, applying eNose technology we were able to distinguish the patients with impaired kidney function from those with normal kidney function.

AbstractIon mobility spectrometers can detect gaseous compounds at atmospheric pressure in the range of parts per trillion within a second. Due to their fast response times, high sensitivity, and limited instrumental effort, they are used in a variety of applications, especially as mobile or hand-held devices. However, most real-life samples are gas mixtures, which can pose a challenge for IMS with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mainly due to competing gas-phase ionization processes. Therefore, we present a miniaturized drift tube IMS coupled to a compact gas chromatograph for pre-separation, built of seven bundled standard GC columns (Rtx-Volatiles, Restek GmbH) with 250 μm ID and 1.07 m in length. Such pre-separation significantly reduces chemical cross sensitivities caused by competing gas-phase ionization processes and adds orthogonality. Our miniaturized GC-IMS system is characterized with alcohols, halocarbons, and ketones as model substances, reaching detection limits down to 70 pptv with IMS averaging times of just 125 ms. It separates test mixtures of ketones and halocarbons within 180 s and 50 s, respectively. The IMS has a short drift length of 40.6 mm and reaches a high resolving power of RP = 68.
