Abstract |
At-cut quartz crystal has been applied as chemical vapour sensors. The responses of quartz crystal at 9 MHz coated with phosphatidylglycerol(PG), phosphatidylinositol(PI), phosphatidylethanolamine(PE), phosphatidylserine(PS), and lipid A(LA) are determined for amyl acetate, acetoin, menthone and other organic gases which showed different affinities for each lipid. The identification of odorants depending on the species of lipid used for coating is discussed in terms of the normalized resonant frequency shift pattern. |
