Scheme of the Proposed Methodology
Figure shows the volatolomic work flow used in this study. Both normal and cancer cells are grown isolated followed by volatile extraction and analysis using ITEX-GC-MS system (PAL RTC autosampler). Step 1: sample conditioning through heating and stirring (20 min, 80°c); Step 2: adsorption of the analytes by dynamic extraction; Step 3: desorption from the heated trap; Step 4, conditioning of ITEX device; SMM: single-magnet mixer.
