Abstract
A gas detection apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a collection unit collecting a detection target gas containing a gas molecule to be detected; a detector including a plurality of detection cells each including a sensor unit and an organic probe disposed at the sensor unit, the organic probe capturing the gas molecule collected by the collection unit; a discriminator discriminating the gas molecule by a signal pattern based on an intensity difference of detection signals generated with the gas molecule being captured by the organic probes of the plurality of detection cells; and a reactivation unit applying heat to the organic probe which has the captured gas molecule to be desorbed the gas molecule from the organic probe.
