An apparatus and method for determining the presence of a disease by analyzing a specimen by providing a vial partially containing the specimen and partially containing a headspace above the specimen, injecting an inert gas into the specimen in the vial to cause bubbling of the gas throughout at least a portion of the specimen such that the gas mixes with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the specimen to create a VOC/gas mixture that is released into the headspace, collecting the VOC/gas mixture from the headspace in the vial, supplying the VOC/gas mixture to a chamber within the apparatus, causing the VOC/gas mixture to pass over a sensor array in proximity to the chamber, the sensor array generating an electrical signal as a function of VOCs detected in the VOC/gas mixture, and processing the electrical signal to determine the presence of a disease in the specimen.
