Explore compounds identified on breath
Discover an expanding repository of quantified breath-related compounds and the context in which they were found.
The VOC Atlas is being developed to better understand the composition of human exhaled breath in terms of the diversity in a healthy population and the differences in different disease states.
Due to the link between volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their generation from, or interaction with the physiological processes in the body, understanding the volatilome and specific VOCs could provide significant benefits as non-invasive biomarkers, detectable in the breath.
The Atlas also provides insight and scientific context to breathborne compounds, including the number of times a candidate breath biomarker is referenced in the literature.
Free for research use
Enjoy unrestricted access to the VOC Atlas's comprehensive data and tools, empowering your research without financial barriers. Including the option to download the entire VOC Atlas dataset for offline analysis. Free to any of the following groups who carry out significant research:
Accelerate Biomarker Detection
Explore the compounds identified in breath, alongside their associations based on literature. Use these to optimise your biomarker discovery methodologies and aid with VOC identification.
Streamline Literature Review
VOC Atlas centralizes literature associated with compounds identified in breath. Quickly discover relevant studies, understand the context of findings, and efficiently build your knowledge base for targeted research
Confirm Compound Identities
Validate your research findings. VOC Atlas provides compound identities that have been validated against analytical standards, giving you confidence in the reported molecules and facilitating reliable comparisons across studies.
Verify Compound Concentrations
Compare your findings to reference ranges: VOC Atlas offers breath concentration data derived from calibration curves, allowing you to strengthen the interpretation of your own findings. Understand the likely utility of breath sensors by referencing the typical VOC concentrations found on breath in the VOC Atlas
Discover disease profiles on breath
Explore the evidence that associates diseases with volatile organic compounds. Based on literature reviews carried out by Owlstone Medical's breathomics experts.
