已经开发出带有蓝牙设备接口的集成挥发性有机毒物传感器。该设备基于新颖的音叉传感器平台以及采用集成系统方法的无线通信/接口技术。它具有高灵敏度和选择性。灵敏度和选择性是通过使用通过设计（分子印迹）聚合物和选择性过滤改进的新型音叉传感器来实现的。实验表明，该设备可以在高浓度的香精香料常见干扰物下检测有毒挥发性有机化合物（VOC）。该设备在室外和加油站 VOC 等实际情况下检测 BTEX 的应用也得到了验证。所有这些功能使该设备成为在现实世界应用中部署的有前途的候选者，特别是在环境健康和空气污染研究中。
An integrated volatile organic toxicants sensor with a Bluetooth device interface has been developed. The device is based on novel tuning fork sensor platform along with a wireless communication/interface technology taken in an integrated system approach. It features high sensitivity and selectivity. The sensitivity and selectivity are accomplished through the use of novel tuning fork sensor modified by design (molecularly imprinted) polymers and selective filtering. Experiments have shown that the device can detect toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under high concentrations of common interferents from flavors and fragrances. Applications of the device for detection of BTEX in real-world situations such as outdoor and gas station VOCs have also been demonstrated. All these features make the device a promising candidate to be deployed in real-world applications, particularly in environmental health and air pollution studies.
