In many gas sensing tasks, we simply wish to become aware of gas compositions that deviate from normal, "business-as-usual" conditions. We provide a methodology, illustrated by example, to computationally predict the performance of a gas sensor array design for detecting anomalous gas compositions. Specifically, we…

We report a reusable cross-reactive plasmonic sensing system that generates unique optical fingerprints for any liquid mixture. The platform leverages a multiplexed plasmonic chip and methodology for creating 24 orthogonally modified sensors, coupled with hyperspectral imaging. We demonstrate the versatility and…

A gravimetric, MOF-based (MOF = metal-organic framework) sensor array functions by measuring the mass of gas adsorbed in an array of MOFs. Changes in the gas composition are expected to produce detectable changes in the mass of gas adsorbed in the MOFs. In practical settings, multiple components of the gas adsorb into…

We propose a generic, modular framework to optimize the placement of continuous monitoring sensors on oil and gas sites aiming to maximize the methane emissions detection efficiency. Our proposed framework substantially expands the problem scale compared to previous related studies and can be adapted for different…

Plasmonic sensors rely on optical resonances in metal nanoparticles and are typically limited by their broad spectral features. This constraint is particularly taxing for optical H2 sensors, in which hydrogen is absorbed inside optically-lossy Pd nanoparticles and for which state-of-the-art detection limits are only at…

Biomarkers detection have become essential in medical diagnostics and early detection of life-threatening diseases. Modern-day medicine relies heavily on painful and invasive tests, the extraction of large volumes of venous blood being the most common tool of biomarker detection. These tests are time-consuming…

Pyocyanin (PYO) is a quorum-sensing signalling molecule that is secreted exclusively by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). The monitoring of pyocyanin concentrations can therefore be used to readily detect the presence of P. aeruginosa Dissolved oxygen interference has hampered the use of materials for sensors…

The cross-sensitivity of a gas sensor can be mitigated by installing a catalytic filter upstream. The objective of the filter is to convert interferents into species that interact weakly with the recognition element of the sensor. Mathematical models may be useful for optimizing the design parameters of the catalytic…

A multiplexed, highly sensitive, and stable electrochemical sensors has been developed for the detection of glucose and lactate in biological fluids, enabling early screening of calf diseases such as Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and scour. The device incorporates an interdigitated microelectrode (IDE) array…

Electrochemical biosensors have been extensively researched and employed across diverse fields from environmental monitoring to clinical diagnostics. The determination of biomarkers such as glucose and pH, which are crucial for the health and well-being of animals, has led to a widespread use of these specific…

This study investigates the impact of sensor placement on the accuracy and responsiveness of indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring focusing on particulate matter concentrations. Measurements were conducted in a controlled environment using three intercalibrated sensors positioned at different locations: a wall-mounted…

The ability to continually collect diagnostic information from the body during daily activity has revolutionized the monitoring of health and disease. Much of this monitoring, however, has been of physical vital signs, with the monitoring of molecular markers having been limited to glucose, primarily due to the lack of…

Optical sensors/probes are powerful tools to identify and image (biological) molecules. Because of their optoelectronic properties, nanomaterials are often used as building blocks. Such nanosensors are assembled from an optically sensitive nanomaterial, a (biological) recognition unit, and linker chemistry that…
