Figure 7: Effect of multiple analyses of samples on the number of VOCs identified. Three human faecal samples were divided in triplicate and analysed 4 consecutive times by solid phase micro-extraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS). The number of VOCs identified in each analysis is presented for the three samples individually (n=3) and combined (n=9) (mean ± SEM); ANOVA with Tukeys HSD followed by Bonferroni; *p<0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001.
