This project follows on from successful phase 1 Innovate UK funding with the development of the **AMBER (Automated Monitoring of Biodiversity via eDNA Recovery) systems** building blocks. This is a deployable, end-to-end system that uses automation and lab-on-a-chip technology to sample marine water and process eDNA in near real-time as a measure of speci...

This project aims to develop a deployable instrument for use by marine biodiversity assessors to quantitatively measure eDNA obtained from marine water samples. The instrument uses automatic real-time sample collection and molecular techniques to perform the analysis of those samples to provide an observation of the biodiversity of that sample(s). The ins...

The project aims to develop an image-based identification system for air-borne fungal spores of important UK crop pathogens, using image analysis and artificial intelligence approaches in an automated, robotic sampling device. This method will provide real-time, continuous results of monitoring air samples, providing data on inoculum levels for multiple p...

UK start-up company, Platform Kinetics, are developing a biosensor to determine the health and nutritional status of crops and fresh produce. This allows growers, processors and end-users to minimize the exposure of the consumption and use of diseased crops leading to health problems, while maximising the nutritional and health benefits.
