Classification of Accuracies vs Wavelength Classification Accuracy Number of Wavelengths Mathew J. Aernecke and David R. Walt Anal. Chem. 2009, 81, 5762-5769
Conclusions • Signal to noise enhancement through the measured response of thousand of beads • Portability-system captures all the essential elements of the larger laboratory based system. • Increase in dimensionality using the SRSI improves the classification system from 61.9% to 85.7% • SRSI is able to capture dynamic changes of a flourescence response from a single bead ( 10 s). • System can be used to analyze petroleum distillates and Volatile Organic compounds
Critiques The Luna C8 microbead sensor underwent photobleaching. Vapors with similar compositions could not clearly be distinguished by the pattern recognition system. Quantitative studies were not mentioned however given the saturated vapor pressures of the distillate the detection limits are estimated to lie between mid ppm to low ppm
