Claim 15:
16. 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,
wherein the housing has a housing height of about 3 cm to about 7 cm, a housing width of from about 7 cm to about 11 cm, and a housing length of from about 10 cm to about 20 cm; or
wherein the mobile chemical sensor device has a weight of from about 45 grams to about 12,000 grams; or
wherein a tag reader sensor is mounted in an interior of the housing, wherein the tag reader sensor is configured to read an optical tag or a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag located on one or more of the chemical sensor probes; or
wherein at least one of the housing and the light sealed enclosure include a gas intake and a gas exhaust, and wherein the gas intake and the gas exhaust are configured to allow a sample gas to flow across the sensor-bearing surface of the at least one chemical sensor probe.
