Abstract
This paper reports an integrated miniaturized gas analysis system (iSAAC; Integrated System for Analysis of Assorted Chemicals) for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contains three components: 1) a micro preconcentrator (μ-PC), 2) a micro gas chromatography (μ-GC) and 3) a thermal conductivity detector (μ-TCD). All three components were fabricated using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and these were finally assembled into a 10×10×10 cm3 system platform. The iSAAC was demonstrated the successful preconcentration, separation and detection for eleven-chemicals from thirteen-VOCs mixture including non-polar alkanes (C1–C9), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and o-xylene (BTEX) in less than 30 mins.
