Active matrix-based collection of airborne analytes: an analyte recording chip providing exposure history and finger print

Adv Mater. 2014 Dec 3;26(45):7600-7. doi: 10.1002/adma.201402589. Epub 2014 Oct 27.

Abstract

In the field of sensors that target the detection of airborne analytes, Corona/lens-based-collection provides a new path to achieve a high sensitivity. An active-matrix-based analyte collection approach referred to as "airborne analyte memory chip/recorder" is demonstrated, which takes and stores airborne analytes in a matrix to provide an exposure history for off-site analysis.

Keywords: airborne analyte memory chip; electrodynamic nanolens; localized amplification; programmable electrostatic precipitation; single molecular detection.
