The Investigation and Analysis of Microbiomic Data Relating to Diseases Surrounding the Deep Lung Tissue
Exhaled breath condensate is a promising way in identifying biomarkers of lung disease but the  current devices used have disadvantages. The EcoScreen has the disadvantage of not being portable and the R-Tube cannot efficiently keep the sample cool. A 'prototpye' was been created to alleviate these issues. With the 'prototype', EBC  samples were taken and files were concatenated together with md5 checksums allowing for data verification. Data was uploaded and results were compared to current type of collection devices.
