A system for the rapid characterization of multi-analyte fluids, in one embodiment, includes a light source, a sensor array, and a detector. The sensor array is formed from a supporting member into which a plurality of cavities may be formed. A series of chemically sensitive particles are, in one embodiment positioned within the cavities. The particles may produce a signal when a receptor coupled to the particle interacts with the analyte. Using pattern recognition techniques, the analytes within a multi-analyte fluid may be characterized. In an embodiment, each cavity of the plurality of cavities is designed to capture and contain a specific size particle. Flexible projections may be positioned over each of the cavities to provide retention of the particles in the cavities.
在一个实施方案中,用于快速表征多分析流体的系统包括一个光源、一个传感器阵列和一个检测器。传感器阵列由支撑件构成,支撑件上可形成多个空腔。在一个实施方案中,一系列
化学敏感颗粒被放置在空腔内。当与颗粒耦合的受体与分析物相互作用时,颗粒就会产生信号。利用模式识别技术,可对多分析流体中的分析物进行表征。在一个实施方案中,多个空腔中的每个空腔都被设计成用于捕获和容纳特定大小的颗粒。可在每个空腔上设置柔性凸起,以便将颗粒保留在空腔中。
