Mimicking the Mammalian Sense of Taste Through Single-Component and Multicomponent Analyte Sensors

摘要

An array for the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes in a solution has been developed. Single analyte receptors on resin beads in conjunction with fluorescent and colorimetric signaling strategies are the basis of the sensing ensemble. The pattern created is specific for each particular set of stimuli, allowing for analyte detection, analogous to the mammalian tongue.
