Acetone (Acetone), akaDimethyl Ketone, is an organic compound with the formulaC3H6O, the simplest saturated ketone.

According to the International Diabetes Federation, approximately4.15billions of people with diabetes,expected2035The number of people with diabetes in the world will increase6It is the seventh leading cause of death in the world.For diabetic patients, only effective control of blood sugar can prevent the occurrence and deterioration of various complications. Therefore, the monitoring of blood sugar in patients is an indispensable part of daily life.

At present, the mainstream test method for blood glucose concentration is still blood testing: the subject pierces his finger with a needle and takes blood for testing. Frequent finger prick, for patients is very uncomfortable, painful.

Therefore, the emergence of a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring method has been expected. Acetone is considered a biomarker for diabetes. The concentration of acetone in the exhaled breath of healthy people was0.3ppm-0.9ppmbetween, while the concentration of acetone in the exhaled breath of diabetics is approximately1.8ppm. Therefore, the blood glucose concentration of the diabetic patient can be monitored by detecting the concentration of acetone in the exhaled breath of the diabetic patient, thereby monitoring the disease state of the diabetic patient. Breathing acetone analysis is non-invasive and painless, and can reduce the resistance of patients to continuous blood glucose monitoring.

Here,To recommend you a detection of acetone sensorTGS1820This sensor is a hot-wire semiconductor gas sensor specially developed by Figaro of Japan for the detection of acetone.

The advantages of this sensor are:

1Acetone has high sensitivity, high selectivity, by hydrogen, ethanol interference is small.

2Responding quickly.

3Good long-term stability.

4、Repeatability is good.

The TGS1820 also has the advantages of small size and low power consumption. Very suitable for breath acetone detector. For details, please consult。
