AquaSift - A rapid, affordable, low-power point-of-care water monitoring system

This page is under construction.

The Project

This project entails a rapid, affordable, low-power point-of-care monitoring device to detect arsenic and nitrates in water. It consists of an electrochemical sensor combined with a mobile interface that analyzes water on the spot and takes a few minutes to show the level of contamination in a water sample.
