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 require a very long exposure time.What is
Quantifly ?
(VOC)
VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
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.
Bacteria
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.
