AquaScience LLC has been recognised by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the Water Toxicity Sensor Challenge for its innovative BioLight Toxy.

This recognition highlights the BioLight Toxy analyser’s ability to quickly and accurately detect water toxicity using bioluminescent bacteria that respond to contaminants, reducing time and costs compared to traditional methods.

Why is this so important?

• Traditionally, methods for analysing contaminants in water (such as pesticides or personal care compounds) require samples, specialised laboratories, a lot of time and high costs. Environmental Protection Agency
• BioLight Toxy opens the door to more agile and accessible monitoring, promoting safer environments and better protection of one of our most valuable resources: water.
• This EPA award endorses the technical quality of the solution, as the winning sensor was evaluated by a third party, which approved its quantitative detection capability and ease of use. Environmental Protection Agency

What this means for its users

For businesses, industrial environments, water treatment plants, and environmental entities, having BioLight Toxy means:

• More immediate control of water toxicity without relying exclusively on lengthy external analyses.
• The ability to effectively anticipate contamination events or changes in water quality.
• Having EPA-validated technology, which reinforces credibility and confidence in the solution.
