The cost of the instruments was: $79, $99, and $99 for the C6, C8, and Pro respectively. The instruments cannot be calibrated locally by the end-user but must be sent back to the manufacturer every 6-12 months for recalibration.

Breath Simulators

Reference vapors were produced using two breath simulators, RepCo Model 3402C (RepCo Marketing, Co. Raleigh, NC, USA), in tandem (also known as a bubble train) to improve the  performance of reference material as described by Dubowski \cite{Dubowski1979-bo} and others \cite{Kucharski_2018,m2009,procedures,analyzers}. Breath simulators were driven by human breath. Figure \ref{300361} shows the tandem breath simulator set-up.
