Patent attributes
A molecular detection apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a collection unit collecting detection target gas containing molecules to be detected; a detector including a plurality of detection cells each having an organic probe disposed at a sensor unit, the organic probe capturing the molecules collected in the collection unit; and a discriminator discriminating the molecules by a signal pattern based on an intensity difference of detection signals generated by the molecules being captured by the organic probes in a plurality of the detection cells. In the molecular detection apparatus according to the embodiment, at least one of the detection cells has a plurality of different types of the organic probes disposed at the sensor unit.
