A colorimetric sensor for drugs and an associated method provide for delivery of particles to the sensor and a colorimetric reagent containing element having a plurality of dyes structured to provide a color change when the airborne particles indicate the presence of fentanyl or fentanyl analogues. The color change may be monitored by an optical identifier which delivers responsive information to a programmable controller which, in turn, may activate a visual alarm or an audible alarm.

A method of identifying the presence of a first gas such as methane within a sample, for example containing natural gas. A detector is provided having a sensor responsive to a first wavelength, a sensor responsive to a second wavelength, and a sensor for collecting reference readings. A gas sample is analysed to obtain a first absorption reading corresponding to the first wavelength, a second absorption reading corresponding to the second wavelength and a reference reading. A first absorption figure is calculated using the first absorption reading and the reference reading, and a second absorption figure using the second absorption reading and the reference reading. The sensor for each wavelength is calibrated for detecting the first gas such that the data collected at each wavelength gives the same reading when only said first gas is present in a sample.

Provided is an analysis method capable of qualitatively determining resins adhering to crushed polysilicon with high sensitivity and further capable of quantitatively determining the resins with high precision. The analysis method comprises removing organic volatile components from crushed polysilicon by heating, then raising a temperature of the crushed polysilicon in a stream of an inert gas, collecting resin decomposition products produced at the heating temperature, and analyzing decomposition products unique to the resins, to thereby identify the types of the resins adhering to the crushed polysilicon. Moreover, it is also possible to prepare a standard curve regarding each of the decomposition products unique to the resins and to determine an adhesion quantity of each of the adhering resins based on the standard curve.

Various example embodiments described herein relate to a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly includes a first sensor cover and a second sensor cover. The first sensor cover is disposed on a first end of the sensor assembly and the second sensor cover is disposed on a second end of the sensor assembly. The first sensor cover defines a first capillary and the second sensor cover defines a second capillary therethrough. The sensor assembly further includes a first sensing unit, a second sensing unit, and a filter. The first sensing unit and the second sensing unit are disposed between the first sensor cover and the second sensor cover. In some example embodiments, the filter is reactive to a target gas and thereby prevents an inflow of the target gas through the second capillary into the sensor assembly.

An electrochemical hydrogen cyanide sensor (1) comprises a housing (10) comprising an opening (2) allowing gas to enter the sensor (1); an electrolyte disposed within the housing (10); a plurality of electrodes in contact with the electrolyte within the housing (10), wherein the plurality of electrodes comprise a working electrode (5) and a counter electrode (7), and wherein the electrodes comprise a metal catalytic material; and a filter (3) operable to cover the opening (2) of the housing (10), and prevent hydrogen sulfide from reaching the electrodes, wherein the filter (3) comprises silver sulfate layered onto a polytetrafluoroethylene support material.

Disclosed is a gas sensor including: a wiring board; a sensor element mounted on the wiring board and electrically connected to the wiring board by conductive members; a casing installing the sensor element and formed with inlet and outlet ports; and a pretreatment unit configured to perform pretreatment on a measurement gas and feed the measurement gas to the inlet port. The inlet and outlet ports are located outward and upward of the sensor element. A protrusion is provided protruding toward the inside of the casing so as to narrow a flow path from the inlet port to the outlet port. A height from the sensor element to a distal end of the protrusion is lower than heights from the sensor element to the inlet and outlet ports. The protrusion is disposed more inside than respective top portions of the conductive members without being in contact with the conductive members.

Method of sensing A method of sensing a target material in an environment is disclosed. The method comprises exposing a sensor to an environment for a first exposure period. The method further comprises, following the first exposure period, isolating the sensor from any target material in the environment for a first isolation period wherein the first isolation period is less than a characteristic recovery period for the sensor to return to a baseline after the first exposure period. The method further comprises, following the first isolation period, exposing the sensor to the environment for a second exposure period, and determining a concentration of the target material from a response of the sensor during the second exposure or a response of the sensor during the first and second exposure.
