Currently there are several sensor (portable) spectrometers commercially available or being under commercialization, e.g. SCIO, Nanolambda, portable spectrometers from Hamamatsu, Intello Labs and others. Taking into account the sensitivity of measurements (resolution, LOD/LOQ and sample preparation methodologies which sensors would you recommend for pesticide analysis?
I know another one as well which is called as Photopette by Tip Bio System (https://tipbiosystems.com). I think the required maximum residue level (MRL) for pesticide detection in diffrent from 50ppm to few ppb for various chemicals.
So, the device should be highly accurate to detect lower number of chemical molecule (especially for chemicals with MRL in ppb level) in smaller amount of sample volume which is ususally afforded by portable spectrometers.
Portable Detection Instruments are an interesting field but until now they are not allowed in the official analysis neither as screening before the more expensive official analytical methods.
