Application Notes
Medical
Assessing the effect of L-Carnitine on fat oxidation, protein turnover and body composition on slightly overweight people
Mitochondrial Dysfunction as Assessed by an ABCA2 Breath Test and its Relationship to Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Monitoring Gastric Emptying via a Simple Non-invasive Breath Test
Helicobacter Pylori detection with the ABCA2
MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS
ISO13485 Certified ABCA2
The ABCA2 is the high performance, high sample throughput isotope ratio mass spectrometer for breath analysis. The outstanding performance and versatility, combined with user friendly software, make the ABCA2 the only choice for 13C breath tests.
Superior performance, high sample throughput and unlimited sample capacity ensure that this is the ultimate instrument for Helicobacter pylori detection. Other demonstrated 13C applications include: fat malabsorption, pancreatic function, lactose intolerance, bile acid circulation, gastric emptying, liver function and metabolic turnover rate measurements.
