  • Method for making microsensor arrays for detecting analytes
    Patent number: 6589438
    Abstract: A device for detection of one or more analytes in a sample is disclosed. The device can simultaneously detect and quantitate multiple analytes in a sample. The device comprises an eletromagnetic radiation generator having one or more chemical sensors thereon. The chemical sensor interacts with or reacts with specific analytes in a sample. The presence of an analyte is detected by a comparison of the spectroscopic properties of the chemical sensor in the absence and presence of the analyte. A method is also disclosed for the detection and quantitation of analytes using the device of the present invention. In addition, a method of making the device of the present invention is also disclosed.

  • Sensing device with sol-gel derived film on the light source
    Patent number: 6241948
    Abstract: A sensing system for quantifying a gaseous species or an analyte in a sample in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention includes a light emitting diode and a detector. The light emitting diode is coupled to a power source and at least a portion of the light emitting diode is coated with a sol-gel-derived film doped with a doping material. The detector is spaced from and substantially across from the portion of the light emitting diode coated with the sol-gel-derived film. The system may include a filter which is located between the light emitting diode and the detector and a processing system which is coupled to the detector for quantifying the amount of a gaseous species or an analyte in a sample based on data from the detector.
