Crit Rev Anal Chem. 2021;51(4):299-311. doi: 10.1080/10408347.2020.1723401. Epub 2020 Feb 6.

Abstract

This work presents a literature review concerning the construction, properties and application of different sensors used to detect dimethyl methylphonate (DMMP), which is the simulant of sarin. Sensors sensitive to mass are described, together with such sensors as: SAW, QCM, MEMS, also chemical capacitors, semiconductors, and field effect transistors.

Keywords: DMMP; sarin; sensor; simulant.
