SYSTEMS FOR DETECTION WITH ODORANT RECEPTOR EXPRESSING CELL ARRAYS

摘要

Provided herein are arrays, devices, systems, and methods for detection of compounds, such as odorant compounds. The arrays, devices, systems, and methods as described herein may provide patterns of electrical signals, wherein a given pattern may be associated with a given compound or a mixture of compounds such that a presence or a likelihood of a presence of the given compound or mixture of compounds can be determined. The cells expressing an odorant receptor can be present in an array of chambers, each chamber comprising a cell modified to express a unique odorant receptor profile and an electrical component configured to measure an electrical signal in the cell.
