“…In a more recent work, Gaso et al [51] state that despite SAW biosensors, packaging needs further development and technology still has some hurdles to clear. Nowadays, the trend is the placement of multiple, small, versatile sensors into a network configured for a specific location and SAW devices are moving into the lab-on-a chip arena.…”

Radiofrequency Identification and Surface Acoustic Wave Technologies for Developing the Food Intelligent Packaging Concept

The food intelligent packaging (IP) technologies are reviewed with a particular emphasis on the possibilities of radiofrequency identification (RFID) and surface acoustic wave (SAW) technologies for developing the food IP concept. Passive RFID and SAW technologies are the more promising ones to achieve a food IP that can wirelessly communicate the food quality to the different agents of the food chain. However, some drawbacks and cost of these technologies are limiting their massive use in food IP. This is the reason why a lot of research works are being currently performed that focus on increasing functionality (e.g., enabling the tag antenna as a sensing device) and reducing costs of components and materials of these RFID and SAW systems. Furthermore, benefits can be also achieved by means of integrating the RFID, SAW, and other sensing technologies. The RFID and SAW technologies can be embedded in a wireless sensor network (WSN), and the corresponding tags and readers can build more intelligent networks by sharing the sensing, logic, and transmission capabilities of the sensor networks. The above two technologies can be integrated in two different ways: sensor-enabled tags-RFID or SAW (or RFID or SAW sensor tags)-and RFID and/or SAW-embedded WSN. The application of these technologies on secondary packages, as the paperboard packages, can dilute the costs of application on primary packaging and allow the massive use of these technologies in the food supply chain.

“…These properties leverage autonomous sensor networks to cover a large area and/or to allow the use of nonexpert people to realize rapid in situ testing of water quality.As a response to this issue, we propose to use acoustic transduction based on a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter with the ultimate goal to realize biochemical detection in the field. SAW sensors are a good candidate to supply all the needed properties for such a sensor [8,9]. As they are used as filters [8], they can be mass produced at a low cost in a very small size, and they are well adapted for integration in a communication system based on the Internet of Things concept [10].This choice is based first on the fact that acoustic wave transduction could be complementary to or even better than optical transduction in Amazonian rivers, to avoid light flux optical absorption, which can occur in turbid water [11].…”

Second, SAW devices present good properties as sensors in both gas and aqueous media, such as good sensitivity [9,12], easy functionalization due to their sensitive surface area [13,14], and good accessibility for integration of microfluidic circuits in aqueous media [7,[15][16][17].As much work has already been performed involving biological and chemical detection of molecules using Love wave devices in aqueous media, in this first step we only focus on a sensor without functionalization. The aim of our work is to validate the Love wave sensor to operate in real Amazonian water using an experimental setup that is transportable and not expensive and directly usable in the field.…”

This paper presents an experimental platform allowing in situ measurement in an aqueous medium using an acoustic Love wave sensor. The aim of this platform, which includes the sensor, a test cell for electrical connections, a microfluidic chip, and a readout electronic circuit, is to realize a first estimation of water quality without transportation of water samples from the field to the laboratory as a medium-term objective. In the first step, to validate the ability of such a platform to operate in the field and in Amazonian water, an isolated and difficult-to-access location, namely, the floodplain Logo Do Curuaï in the Brazilian Amazon, was chosen. The ability of such a platform to be transported, installed on site, and used is discussed in terms of user friendliness and versatility. The response of the Love wave sensor to in situ water samples is estimated according to the physical parameters of Amazonian water. Finally, the very good quality of the acoustic response is established, potential further improvements are discussed, and the paper is concluded.The other method is based on the collection of in situ samples with conditioning methods that require not only the transport of the samples from the field to analytical laboratories but also the analysis of these same samples by highly qualified personnel using analytical chemistry tools that are sometimes very expensive, such as gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, and electrophoretic stations.Drawbacks include the biochemical degradation of the samples during their collection and transportation [6]. Moreover, this method does not allow an exhaustive analysis of the biochemical compounds in the water column over a large area of investigation. Indeed, the logistics of deployment and the overall cost, including consumables and the workforce, result in a very low frequency of in-field sample collection and necessitate complex work to evaluate a large number of samples that nevertheless cannot be efficiently treated in terms of time compared to the surfaces to be studied. This drawback is not compatible with the need for water quality data over a large area [7].An intermediate approach, allowing the coverage of a high surface area while analyzing biochemical compounds in the water column, is to use in situ biochemical sensors that are easily deployable. If one sensor can provide information about the presence of a target compound, certain properties are important for covering a large area with a minimum cost, such as good sensitivity, easy communicating, low cost, user friendliness, and low power consumption or even passive power operation. These properties leverage autonomous sensor networks to cover a large area and/or to allow the use of nonexpert people to realize rapid in situ testing of water quality.As a response to this issue, we propose to use acoustic transduction based on a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter with the ultimate goal to realize biochemical detection in the field.
