There is an increasing demand for portable or remote sensors for detecting volatile organic compounds and other toxic gases in complex environment. A portable sensor array system with plug-and-play modules has been developed for monitoring air contaminants. In addition to novel nanostructured sensing materials, the array devices are integrated with the electronic hardware, the data processing software, and wireless components. This presentation will describe recent progress, along with the envision of a family of sensor array products as plug-and-play modules for targeting specific groups of analytes.
