Us Ireland Partnership Program: Beacons: Biosafety For Environmental Contaminants Using Novel Sensors, Laurie B. Connell, Rosemary L. Smith, Gregory Doucette

University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports

BEACONS is a unique collaboration between the United States, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, that aims to develop a novel sample preparation device coupled to a portable sensor which will be capable of rapidly analyzing for the presence of major aquatic toxins and associated organisms in water samples. It harnesses the substantial complementary expertise of the international partners and their institutions to address a problem that has world-wide implications for human health and aquatic related industries. The results will be used for the generation of a commercially applicable prototype device that could have the potential to be applied …
