Solid-state, dye-labeled DNA detects volatile compounds in the vapor phase.

This paper demonstrates a previously unreported property of deoxyribonucleic acid-the ability of dye-labeled, solid-state DNA dried onto a surface to detect odors delivered in the vapor phase by changes in fluorescence. This property is useful for engineering systems to detect volatiles and provides...
