Company description

ClearWater Sensors develops underwater chemical sensors.

Project impact

Clearwater sensors has setup manufacture at scale and delivered a complex high performance miniature chemical analyser / sensor technology to customers within 10 months of signing license agreements with the NOC and University of Southampton. It now offers for worldwide sale sensors capable of making scientific grade chemical measurements from frozen surface ocean to the deep sea for: Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate, Silicate, Iron and pH with further sensors in development (including in collaboration through the license agreement with the NOC). Currently employing 5 FTE staff, including key inventors also employed at the NOC the company has secured innovate UK funding (3 awards) together with angel investment and is experiencing strong demand that is enabling rapid growth. Customers include scientists, government agencies and aquaculture industries in the UK and abroad.

2025 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Lab on chip ammonia sensors transformation for water environments and environmental data (LAST-WEED)

1 May 2025 to 30 Apr 2027

Awarded
£489,899
Total cost £699,856

This collaborative project between ClearWater Sensors Ltd (CWS) and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) addresses a global, and well publicised UK crisis in water quality. It will develop a new sensor that measures both ammonia (NH3) and ammonium (NH4+) in water, which are markers of untreated sewage. They are nutrients used in natural processes, but a...

2021 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Assuring water quality : improved electronics of the new generation of miniaturised microfluidic chemical analysers

1 Dec 2021 to 31 Jan 2022

Awarded
£81,477
Total cost £81,477

Assuring good water quality is vital for the health of our rivers, lakes and oceans, and is also important in regulating a range of industrial processes (including drinking water supply). At the moment, collecting data about important parameters such as nutrients (e.g. nitrate and phosphate) and dissolved metals (e.g. iron) is difficult and expensive. Thi...
