Online Dual-Channel Sensor System for Sembcorp Nanjing
October 28, 2024
Existing heavy metals online sensors are mostly based on colorimetric methods and electrochemical approaches, with the benefit of quick response but very difficult to detect analytes in real samples (no signal) due to interference and often show false positive signals (false alarm) in the absence of analyte in real samples. MIPS developed a totally new technology to overcome no signal and false alarm problems, using technologies based on molecular imprinting and piezoelectric effect. In October 2024, we have deployed our latest dual-channel online sensor system for heavy-metal and anions in Semborp Nanjing for real-time water quality monitoring.
