  • Molecular separators, concentrators, and detectors preparatory to sensor operation, and methods of minimizing false positives in sensor operations
    Patent number: 8444921
    Abstract: As an elegant solution for minimizing false positives returned by a sensor tuned to an analyte molecule, filters constructed of carbon nanotubes are positioned relative to the sensor to limit the sensor to being exposed to molecules within a defined range of sizes, with too-big molecules being excluded from reaching the sensor by one filter, and too-small molecules being pumped out through another, finer filter before the sensor is operated.
