A device for detection of one or more analytes in a sample is disclosed.
The device can simultaneously detect and quantitate multiple analytes in a
sample. The device comprises an eletromagnetic radiation generator having
one or more chemical sensors thereon. The chemical sensor interacts with
or reacts with specific analytes in a sample. The presence of an analyte
is detected by a comparison of the spectroscopic properties of the
chemical sensor in the absence and presence of the analyte. A method is
also disclosed for the detection and quantitation of analytes using the
device of the present invention. In addition, a method of making the
device of the present invention is also disclosed.
