Abstract
A sensor array for detecting analyte in a fluid. The sensor comprises a substrate having an array of sensors. Each sensor comprises a combination of a first organic material at a concentration and a second organic material at a concentration, wherein the first organic material is different from the second organic material. The sensor array further includes a detector operatively associated with each said sensor. The sensor array is built from a feedstock of organic materials such that the number of sensors is greater than the number of different organic materials which form the sensors.
