## Abstract

A monitoring system for monitoring, measuring and detecting analytes in an environment or in test samples from an environment. The monitoring system generates data in response to the presence of at least one analyte. The monitoring system is configured to communicate the data to an associated receiver such as personal communication device or the like for processing. The monitoring system can be in the form of a selectively attachable component.
