Three major halitosis components are hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide. The OralChroma measures Volatile Sulfide Components (VSC) in the breath and separates them into the above three components. About 1000 sets of OralChroma have been supplied to dentists, universities, and laboratories in the world since 2002.
Since the OralChroma uses gas chromatography technology, causes of halitosis can be precisely analyzed to confirm breath odor diagnostics treatment.
You can freely select where to place the OralChroma without being worried about permanent installation.
