  • Patent number: 6977506
    Abstract: A gas analyzing apparatus including a reactor for decomposing a target substance contained in a gas to produce a product gas containing a decomposition product, a contacting chamber connected to the reactor and having a quartz oscillator disposed therewithin. The quartz oscillator has opposing surfaces each provided with an electrode, at least one of the electrodes being reactable with the decomposition product so that the decomposition product when contacted with the reactable electrode is reacted with the reactable electrode to cause a frequency deviation which is detected by a frequency measuring device.

  • Patent number: 6312918
    Abstract: There are described a simple examination method of infection with Helicobacter pylori possibly presenting in a gastric mucosa, and a device therefor. The examination is conducted by collecting gas in gastric cavity, and measuring mainly ammonia and additionally organic amines which are generated due to activities of the bacilli. The measurement is carried out by leading the gas in gastric cavity into oral cavity by vomiting-reflex, and sucking the gas by a metering suction pump through a gas detection tube to read-out a length of color-changed area in the gas detection tube.
