Imagine having a tiny, smart lab that fits in your hand instead of sending water samples away to a big facility and waiting days for results. It uses special micro-chips to spot tiny amounts of poisonous metals in water almost instantly. It's like a digital pregnancy test, but for water pollution, and it cleans itself automatically.
Industrial water monitoring currently relies on slow, expensive lab tests that fail to catch micropollutants in real-time. This leads to environmental damage and health risks like cancer due to delayed responses to contamination.
A portable, automated electrochemical multi-element water analyzer (PANDa) using LabInGlass microfluidics chips. It automates sample preparation, calibration, and electrode cleaning.
If you are a plant operator dealing with slow lab turnaround times for micropollutants — this project developed a portable analyzer that provides lab-grade reliability in 30 minutes to 2 hours. This allows for immediate response to contamination instead of waiting for external lab results.
If you are a facility manager dealing with strict heavy metal discharge limits — this project developed a plug-and-play device that detects 8 to 12 parameters including Lead and Cadmium. It reduces maintenance to a 1-minute consumable replacement requiring no technical skills.
If you are a consultant dealing with the need for on-site water quality verification — this project developed a portable multi-analyzer that automates sample preparation and calibration. It enables quantitative analysis of toxic metals anywhere without needing a specialized lab environment.
The project expects cumulative revenues of 47 M until 2029.
Yes, it is designed as a plug-and-play portable analyzer for the industrial micropollutant monitoring market, capable of performing over 350 analyses between maintenance cycles.
The analyzers are based on Klearia's patented LabInGlass microfluidics chips.
It is a portable, automated system that handles sample preparation and calibration internally, providing results in 30 minutes to 2 hours without requiring specialized training.
The project has already developed methods for 8 parameters and aims to reach 11 to 12 parameters by the end of the program, including pesticides and pharmaceuticals.
The project is led by a single French SME, Klearia, which holds 100% of the industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a highly focused commercialization path, leveraging the company's existing patents and previous success with an arsenic analyzer to rapidly move toward a 47 M revenue target.
