From page 127...
... Fiberoptic micromirrors use reliable communications technology to measure reflectance of sensor coating on the end of a cleaved fiber. The reflectivity can be changed by the analyte, by changes in the thickness of the sensing film, or by a change in refractive index.
From page 128...
... TABLE G-3 Key Descriptors for Patch-Test Chemical Reactions Showing Color Change Descriptor Requirements (Specification) Available (Attributes)
From page 129...
... This technology currently suffers from low selectivity and high cost. Electrochemical sensors are available for chemical analysis, inclucling ion selective electrodes for solvated (usually In water)
From page 130...
... Threshold assay field units can consist of credit card sized platform & several cigarettesized reagent vials; more precise assays require larger unit. ~$50,000-100,000 for antibodies; and $100,000 for assay kit development.
