Provided is a non-invasive method for identification of non-physiological, physiological or diseased states based on the volatiles in gas or biogas samples from individuals. The method uses a sensor array comprising a plurality of distinct sensors which differ from other sensors by the sensing molecules or the sol-gel holding material composition. In response to a combination of volatiles, a pattern of responses is generated which can be correlated to particular non-physiological, physiological or diseased state. |
