  • Value Proposition

    Our client has developed a rapid biosensor for direct in situ detection of E. coli O157:H7 and other pathogens in water. The sensor is capable of providing a read-out of the concentration level within minutes in the field, without filtering and without added chemicals. The use of this sensor could reduce or eliminate the need for time consuming laboratory analysis.
