This paper presents a novel technique for extracting the alveolar part of human breath. Gas exchange occurs between blood and inhaled air in the alveoli, which is helpful in medical diagnostics based on breath analysis. Consequently, the alveolar portion of the exhaled air contains specific concentrations of endogenous EVOC (exogenous volatile organic compound), which, among other factors, depend on the person’s health condition. As this part of the breath enables the screening for diseases, accurate sample collection for testing is crucial. Inaccurate sampling can significantly alter the composition of the specimen, alter the concentration of EVOC (biomarkers) and adversely affect the diagnosis. Furthermore, the volume of alveolar air is minimal (usually
