| Output characterisation | |
| OUTPUT SENTENCE | Love wave immunosensor highly sensitive for rapid detection of microorganisms in water for a warning device. |
| OUTPUT TYPE | prototype |
| WATER TOPIC | Quality of natural systems |
| KEYWORDS | Microorganisms detection |
| KEYWORDS TYPE | Surface water quality |
| MARKET NEED TAILORED | This prototype will help to follow directly bacteriological water quality and will permit to avoid time consuming laboratory analisis. |
| OUTPUT DESCRIPTION | This project aims at the realization of a device for the rapid detection of bacterial contamination in liquid medium (bathing water, sewage), for environment monitoring. Previous work has shown the feasibility of a microsensor surface acoustic wave, with a bioreceptor (antibodies) for the rapid detection of bacteria. This project aims to improve device performance. |
| STATE OF DEVELOPMENT | Always in research stage???? |
| INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES | The proposed study aims to effectively respond to strong demand from local authorities and stakeholders for which the issue of water quality is a major issue. |
