Abstract
A method of determining the presence ofinvolves establishing a gaseous headspace over a surface suspected of containing at least onestrain and contacting at least a portion of the gaseous headspace with a capillary microextraction of volatiles (CMV) sampling device to absorb at least one component of the headspace by the CMV sampling device. The component loaded CMV sampling device is coupled to an injection port of an analytical device where the components are desorbed into the analytical device, where components are separated, detected, and identified to determine if one or more of the identified components is a biomarker for at least onestrain.
