<p>The instant invention pertains generally to a method and apparatus for rapidly detecting nerve agents, organophosphates, and other chemical warfare agents. A sensor has been developed that can be used to rapidly detect multiple analytes such as organic compounds. Analytes can be detected by monitoring changes in the optical properties of the absorbance and/or fluorescence spectra of highly colored heterocyclic compounds such as porphyrins or related compounds such as phthalocyanines. The result is a real-time monitor that is suitable for use in situations where encounter with chemical warfare agents is possible.</p> |
