Colorimetric Sensor Array: Do I See What You Smell
… (ppb) levels with extremely low error rates for Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) at both their IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) and the much more demanding PEL (workday permissible exposure limits). Complex mixtures are easily identified, such as coffees and perfumes, making this …

Colorimetric sensor arrays for the detection of aqueous and gaseous analytes
… to detect a wide range of analytes including toxic industrial chemicals. For aqueous detection, the newly developed porous glasses successfully immobilized otherwise soluble dyes that could detect changes in solution pH, caused by boronic acid-diol interactions. This allowed for rapid and …

Artificial and mammalian olfaction and low-coordinate metalloporphyrin complexes
… array for the detection and identification of toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) has been developed. The sensor consists of a disposable array of cross-responsive nanoporous pigments whose colors are changed by diverse chemical interactions with analytes. Clear differentiation among 20 different …

Understanding and enhancing multi-pollutant control using carbon-based materials
Decades of research and industrial use have solidified carbon as one of the most versatile materials available. In the environmental arena, carbon is used as an adsorbent for air and water applications. Recent studies, however, highlight its use as a catalyst support or direct catalyst. Exploiting …

Applications of a hand-held optoelectronic nose: security screening, medical diagnosis and food inspection
… compounds to composite mixtures, including toxic industrial chemicals, food and beverage, bacteria and fungi. Colorimetric sensor arrays have generally been limited to work under laboratory conditions due to the bulk of complicated instrumentation. Therefore, we have recently developed a …
