A fluorescent molecular sensor can mimic the function of optical cross‐reactive sensor arrays. In their Communication on page 12477 ff., D. Margulies et al. show how a series of nonspecific, fluorescent receptors can be “arrayed” on a single molecular platform. The resulting analytical device can generate unique optical fingerprints for different medications, as well as analyze drug combinations and concentrations in human urine in a high‐throughput manner.
