Analytical sensors

Data have been analyzed from a multivariate point of view. In this way the cooperative effects of the different materials is studied and the characteristics of each sensor are easily compared with those of the other sensors. PLS was used as a regression method for calculating the capability of the set of sensors to discriminate between the volatile compounds. Volatile compounds were checked at different concentrations in order to evaluate the response of sensors in a wide concentration range. Nevertheless, the concentration variation tends to shadow the reaction of sensors with analytes, since the sensor response contains both qualitative (sensor analyte interaction) and quantitative (analyte concentration) information. In order to remove the quantitative information, data have been normalized using the linear normalization discussed in section 3.

R 17] [A 4] Currently, the integration of micro structured reactors is under way. The system is equipped with a so-called sensor analytical manager (SAM) which delivers the digital data, transformed in the devices, via a local area network to the PC controller (Figure 4.66).

The highest stability of the sensor-analyte complex is achieved when the substrate fits perfectly in the hole within the receptor. The analyte does not have to fit the receptor cavity perfectly efficient binding can be achieved by careful design of the receptor. In the case of metal ion sensors the receptor must contain a proper type and number of donor atoms angular orientation and directionality of lone electron pairs are also of crucial importance [5].

Belmares et al.12 have reported a first principle MD model of sensor-analyte response that measures resistance change in polymer-carbon composite films. The relative change in resistance is assumed to be directly proportional to the target analyte permeability. The resistive responses of the sensors are correlated with the Hansen components of the cohesive energy of the polymer and solvent as well as the molar volume of the solvent.
