PORTABLE SENSOR ARRAY SYSTEM

摘要

A system for the rapid characterization of multi-analyte fluids, in one embodiment, includes a light source, a sensor array, and a detector. The sensor array is formed from a supporting member into which a plurality of cavities may be formed. A series of chemically sensitive particles are, in o ne embodiment positioned within the cavities. The particles may be configured t o produce a signal when a receptor coupled to the particle interacts with the analyte. Using pattern recognition techniques, the analytes within a multi- analyte fluid may be characterized.
