Abstract

ALEGRET, Salvador. Chemical sensors as integrated analytical systems. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2006, vol.52, suppl.2, pp.99-103. ISSN 0035-001X.

The term 'integrated analytical systems' illustrates the convergence of different strategies to connect the steps of the analytical process including simplification, automation, communication and miniaturisation. Although these strategies or trends are found in other scientific and technological fields, it is with chemical sensors and sensing systems that they take on defined role producing analytical instruments with additional advantages in terms of information, speed, robustness, portability and cost (see Table I).

Keywords : Integrated analytical system; chemical sensor; electronic nose; biochip; lab-on-a-chip.
