MICROPLASTICS SENSOR

Collect real-time microplastics data in-situ 

Collect and Analyze Microplastics Data Directly In-Situ

To stop plastic pollution at its source, decision-makers require sufficient data. The current processes used to sample and analyze microplastic pollution in the environment can be difficult and time-consuming.

Ocean Diagnostics is currently developing microplastic-sensing technology to revolutionize the quantification and characterization of small microplastic particles. The sensor will enable the real-time analysis of aquatic microplastics, eliminating inconsistent and labour-intensive methods to maximize research time.

 

FEATURES

 

In-Situ Physical & Chemical Analysis

The Microplastics Sensor will perform both chemical and physical size characterization of microplastic particles, either in a field-based, flow-through system or a fully-submersible in situ sensor.

 

Industry Standardization

The Microplastics Sensor will perform standardized in-situ analysis for greater control in multi-sample studies.

 

Increased Capabilities

The Microplastics Sensor will export data to standardized formats to increase research capabilities and insight.

 

Simplified Process

The Microplastics Sensor will include an intuitive user interface to simplify the sampling process.
