Integrated Multi-Test Sensor System for Battlefield Forensics
Abstract
This effort developed an integrated multi-dimensional sensor system that provides for real-time fast forensic analysis of unknown chemical materials. The resulting device offers superior reliability (negligible-false alarms) along with high sensitivity, detection of a wide range of analytes and built-in redundancy while meeting the low-cost, weight/size and power requirements of a hand-held forensic system. The project will integrate three key components: an optical interferometer, a planar electrochemical cell, and thin film chromatography, into a single system. The system will provide identification and quantification of compounds in real time, in the field, which currently requires processing of samples in a remote analytical laboratory.
