Problem
Current methods for analyzing water toxicity rely on traditional laboratory techniques, which are often time-consuming, expensive, and require specialized equipment and trained personnel. This makes real-time, on-site monitoring of water quality challenging, especially in remote or resource-limited settings.
Solution
Microx develops microfluidic lab-on-chip (LOC) technologies that enable rapid, accurate, and portable analysis of toxic substances in water. Their microdevices integrate microfluidics and microelectronics to perform chemical, biological, and environmental parameter measurements at a micro-scale. By digitizing data directly within the microdevice, Microx provides enhanced water quality assessment capabilities, facilitating effective water management across various sectors. The technology allows for faster and more effective water analysis, even in locations where traditional methods are impractical.
