Benefits of technology

The invention provides an apparatus that can detect changes caused by various factors on targets such as temperature or pressure. This allows us to better track these variables over time during flight operations without relying solely upon external sources like radar signals.

Problems solved by technology

This patents describes various ways to determine if certain chemical substances found on crops were harmful during production without causing any health hazards associated with these materials. These include gaschromatic voltammetry analysis, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, ionization mass spectrometry, and other analyte measurement technologies like electroluminescences and chemiluminisms. Each method has its advantages but each requires different instruments and tools to perform accurately.

Embodiment Construction

[0042]One embodiment of the invention is based on the knowledge that radiation of certain wavelengths excites target compounds such as food components or contaminants such as mycotoxins to fluoresce, and that the wavelength of the emitted fluorescent light is significantly different (usually longer) than the excitation wavelength. The amount of light emitted is proportional to the amount of the substance, a measurement of the amount of light emitted can be used to quantify the amount of target compounds, such as mycotoxins, immobilised in a sample cartridge and we use an analysis of the spectrum to provide information about the identity of the plurality of toxins present.

[0043]We have now discovered that we can use Raman spectroscopy for similar analysis in respect of target compounds which do not fluoresce. Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique which relies on inelastic scattering, (Raman scattering) of monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near infrared,

Abstract

A method for the detection or determination of a target comprising a plurality of target compounds, or derivatised target compounds, said method comprising: immobilising said target on a carrier, directing radiation at said target, said radiation being selected to cause said target to emit a relevant radiation, detecting said relevant radiation emitted by said target, and analysing said detected radiation to identify and/or quantify the plurality of target compounds in said target.
