Summary: The paper introduces a real-time continuous rapid formaldehyde determination system based on a colorimetric sensor. By studying the relationship between the inlet diameter of gas, bubble size, and reaction speed, the reaction time is reduced to 1/3 with the ability to detect formaldehyde concentrations as low as 0.02 ppm. The system can also continuously and automatically measure formaldehyde concentrations, which is crucial for identifying pollution sources.

Summary: In this study, a colorimetric sensor array (CSA) and bionic algorithms were combined to create a simple platform for determining total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N). The CSA collected scent information of beef and generated scent fingerprints for visualization. Bionic optimization algorithms were used to extract characteristic fingerprint variables from the CSA. A back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model combined with characteristic color components was constructed for TVB-N determination, showing improved precision and robustness. The WOA-BPNN model demonstrated high-precision quantitative determination of TVB-N during beef storage and potentially served as an efficient on-site sensing platform for food freshness monitoring.

Summary: This study proposes a convenient and portable smartphone-assisted method for the colorimetric detection of uranyl ions in aqueous solutions. The method utilizes rifampicin and Br-PADAP as chromogenic agents, which undergo color changes upon reaction with UO22+. Digital images captured by a smartphone are analyzed using the built-in application Detect to estimate the concentration of uranyl ions. UV-vis spectroscopy is also employed for more precise laboratory-level detection. The method has been successfully used to analyze real samples including soil around uranium mines.
