Monitoring Exhaled Breath Condensate profiles of a population when environmental and occupational exposures are suspected is easy using the RTube™. Screening tests may assist in developing risk profiles for occupational diseases, particularly lung diseases. The RTube may assist actuaries more accurately to determine appropriate insurance premiums by providing information regarding risk and exposure assessment in workers and patients. Some of the benefits you will enjoy as an occupational health researcher are:

1. Easily monitor exhaled biomarkers when inhaled industrial or environmental toxins, mineral dusts, organic dusts, organisms, or pathogens are suspected.
2. Simultaneous sampling of multiple patients in the workplace.
3. Minimal interruption of work schedule due to short collection times.
4. Collect samples at any time of the day.
5. One screening coordinator can collect EBC from hundreds of patients.
6. Store and protect the samples inside of the sealed collection chamber for safe transport to a central laboratory for analysis.
7. One central laboratory can analyze samples from hundreds of field locations enabling ongoing sample collection from a large dispersed workplace. We also offer laboratory services through our collaboration with Cenetron Diagnostics. See our Laboratory Services page for more details.
8. At home sampling provides maximum flexibility.
