What is

Quantifly ?

(VOC)

VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Nowadays, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are commonly found pollutants that have been proven present in a wide variety of everyday life situations. Though they are dangerous and present almost everywhere, VOCs are not efficiently detected. Usual detection devices are very unprecise or requires a very long exposure time.

Bacteria

Biosensor

This is why we developed the Quantifly project : a combination of a bacterial biosensor, perfectly adapted to on-field measurements, and an innovative drone that will allow us to easily and rapidly quantify the amount of VOCs in the air. The biosensor relies on bioluminescence, a biochemical phenomenon that is commonly used in cell imaging. We are trying to develop a new application for bioluminescence that should allow us to create a biosensor of a new kind, entirely different from the existing devices.

If you’ve followed along and done the steps above, you’ve created a good starting place. You’re going to need to make sure your pages are optimized properly.

Drone

Concerning the drone, it is designed to safely contain our organisms and carry them on the field, thus acting as a mobile detection platform.
