MEASUREMENT OF WATER POLLUTION

MEASUREMENT OF WATER POLLUTION

Start-up Camstech Ltd uses CERN's unique process for making small micrometric holes in printed circuit boards in a predefined pattern. It was exactly what the company needed for a tiny ultrasensitive biochemical sensor. Although initially aimed at the health sector, the sensor allows for a very accurate measurement of dissolved oxygen in liquids, which is one of the key indicators of water quality. A commercial, low-cost version of the sensor will make precise water quality measurement more accessible worldwide.
