A diagnostic apparatus (10) for analysing a sample to diagnose disease, the apparatus (10) comprising: a separating element (16) for separating gas derived from the sample into component parts; a sensor arrangement (18) coupled to the separating element (16) such that a component part of the gas is directed towards the sensor arrangement (18), the sensor arrangement (18) being configured to detect compounds which may be indicative of disease; and a processing element (20) coupled to an output of the sensor arrangement (18), the processing element (20) being configured to process a signal output by the sensor arrangement (18) to provide a diagnosis. |
