NEw biomimetic Lab-on-Chip device for marine water MOnitoring
Project description
To sustain surface and marine water quality as advocated by international directives, there is a growing need for sensors that can enable accurate and rapid in-situ detection of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). NEMO aims to develop a new generation of Lab-on-Chip (LoC) miniaturized sensor platforms for the quantitative determination of POPs in marine waters. The project relies on a recognition phase based on electrochemical molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) that will be incorporated into glass-based LoC devices. Sample handling will be tailored to deliver deployable sensing platforms whereby in-situ sensor measurements in the marine environment will directly indicate specific POPs concentrations
