US Clemson University researcher Carlos Garcia has collaborated with two Argentinian research groups to develop two artificial sensory devices, an electronic nose, and paper-based biosensors, for application in biomedicine.
The electronic nose is being designed to detect kissing bugs, while the paper-based biosensors will identify the presence of select chemicals.
Being developed by Garcia and Argentinian collaborator Carlos Rinaldi, the new electronic nose will use sensing arrays and pattern-recognition technology for the detection of certain aromatic compounds that are found in the air in the presence of kissing bugs.
