sbRIO Lab-on-chip gas sensing and monitoring for multisensory array

Abstract

It is utmost to create a system at which can monitor and indicate the gas level exist in certain area, especially for hazardous gas, as early preparation and protection before something worst happen. The gas sensing and monitoring system composes of hardware and software elements. A spiral chamber which is simplified on chip, known as Lab-On-Chip (LOC), plays an important role in this system. The examined gases will be analysed by 16 sensors during the flow through the spiral chamber. The responses of these sensors are obtained via analogue input channels from single board RIO (sbRIO) and are displayed on a computer using LabVIEW virtual instrument software. The system offers portable, real-time monitoring and fast response time even in room temperature. © 2012 Penerbit UTM Press. All rights reserved.
