Problem
Current laboratory methods for detecting PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in water are time-consuming and require specialized equipment, leading to delays in identifying and addressing contamination. The lack of rapid, on-site testing options hinders timely monitoring and remediation efforts, especially in resource-limited settings.
Solution
Fluorityx is developing a point-of-use PFAS detection system that delivers rapid and highly sensitive measurements directly at the sampling site. This technology eliminates the need to send samples to off-site laboratories, providing immediate results for faster decision-making. The system utilizes a novel sensing approach to quantify PFAS levels in minutes, enabling proactive environmental monitoring and ensuring safer water resources. By offering a portable and user-friendly solution, Fluorityx empowers communities and industries to take control of their water quality and mitigate the risks associated with PFAS contamination.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes municipal water utilities, environmental monitoring agencies, industrial facilities, and communities concerned about PFAS contamination in their water sources.
