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.
Claims20
A method for monitoring an environment, comprising:
- collecting and monitoring a sample from an environment using a remote monitoring device;
- recording data of a location of the collected sample from the environment using a location device coupled to the remote monitoring device;
- receiving the sample and solubilizing and rupturing membranes of cells in the sample and releasing the cell contents using a lysis function device coupled to the remote monitoring device;
- detecting at least one analyte signature data of the released cell contents and environment information of the location using a plurality of sensors coupled to the lysis function device;
- wherein the monitoring device, the lysis function device, and the plurality of sensors are integrated within a printed component;
- and
- transmitting the analyte signature data and the environment information of the location to an associated receiver using at least one communication device wirelessly coupled to the remote monitoring device.
