On‐Chip Micro Gas Chromatograph Enabled by a Noncovalently Functionalized Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Sensor Array

Abstract

Sensing in reverse: Reversible detection of as few as 109 molecules (1700 aM) of dimethyl methylphosphonate, a nerve agent simulant, is demonstrated at the end of a micro GC column (see picture). Such arrays form the basis of rapidly transducing molecular sensors with micrometer-sized footprints. The separation capability of the column eliminates the need for selectivity on the sensor, as long as analyte binding is reversible and rapid.
