J. L. aDetection limit for artifical sensors based on ultrathin films of perylene derivatives. c2002 aWe report the use of ultrathin Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of a novel class of PTCDs as an "electronic tongue" sensor able to distinguish tastes (salty, sweet, bitter and sour) at 1 uM, which is below the human threshold, likewise the detection of trace amounts of a pesticide. Distiction is also made between samples of ultrapure, distilled and tap water, in addition to two different brands of mineral water. aelectronic tongue aArtificla taste sensors aLĂ­ngua eletrĂ´nica aUltrathin films1 aRIUL JR.
