High-throughput detection of low-concentrated nanopollutants in surface water

To enable low-budget detection of car tire nanopollutants in surface water, Assistant Professor Gregor Marolt and his research group at University of Ljubljana are developing an innovative screen-printed sensor technology. He needed a quick and reliable way to verify his measurements.

The goal was to quantify the differences between differently filtrated samples. During the measurement over 300 particles were measured with single-particle sensitivity, also capturing unknown bigger particles (probably agglomerates).

Monitoring the leaching of micro- and nanoplastic particles from bottles into ultrapure water

Researchers at an Austrian university used BRAVE B-Curious to continuously measure plastic particle contamination and the leaching processes of different polypropylene bottles and compared them to glass bottles.

One of the takeaways from the experiments is that particles are leaching into the liquid as soon as the liquid is in the plastic bottle.
