Claim 16:
17. A mobile chemical sensor device comprising:
a housing including a cartridge opening;
a cartridge configured to position at least one chemical sensor probe having a sensor-bearing surface that includes an array of luminescent chemical sensors, wherein the cartridge forms a light sealed enclosure in an interior of the housing when the cartridge is inserted in the cartridge opening;
at least one light source configured to direct light onto the sensor-bearing surface of the at least one chemical sensor probe at an angle of incidence, wherein the light source is capable of emitting light having a wavelength of from about 280 nm to about 400 nm; and
a camera module mounted in the light sealed enclosure and configured to detect emitted light from the at least one chemical sensor probe,
an optical mirror configured to reflect emitted light from the at least one chemical sensor probe to the camera module; and
a single-board computer or a multi-board computer mounted in the light sealed enclosure; and
wherein the chemical sensor device is operated by a computer readable code included in the single-board or the multi-board computer, and the computer readable code is configured to receive and process at least one digital signal from the camera module,, wherein the at least one digital signal includes a plurality of RGB values derived from the emitted light from the at least one chemical sensor probe, a plurality of XYZ values derived from the plurality of RGB values, a plurality of xy values derived from the plurality of XYZ values, a data packet including one or more of a time, a date, a user name, a test name, a sample name; or combinations thereof; or
wherein the computer readable code includes a mandatory sequence of test protocol steps including at least one of a baseline reading step, a control reading step, and a sample reading step; or
wherein the at least one digital signal includes an image file.
