Deployable early warning pollution device for applications in water
Start Date: 01 December 2013 – End Date: 30 November 2015
The aim was to develop a portable, deployable early warning pollution device using state-of-the-art microfluidic and lab-on-chip technologies for water quality protection. Based on market research, it was identified that the water sector needed an affordable, real-time monitoring device to improve the detection of pollution incidents. The device was developed to detect phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, and pH.
The consortium was made up of six partners in total: two academic partners and four small/ medium enterprises (SME) partners including TelLab.
TelLab’s contribution:
As coordinators of the project, TelLab was involved in all Work Packages of this project with a key emphasis on the development of the analytical chemistry techniques used to detect the analytes of phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, and pH.
Development of an effective exploitation and dissemination strategy was key in the success of this project and included attendance at many well attended European and international trade shows, e.g., Analytica and Arablab.
