Result description
- PFOA/PFOS biosensor: A biosensor able to detect PFOA and PFOS in seawater. The PFOS/PFOA biosensor is particularly valuable for near the coast measurements (for example near ports or aquaculture sites).
- Naphthalene biosensor: A biosensor able to detect Naphthalene in seawater. The sensor developed is sensitive enough to allow monitoring the target pollutant, following regulatory requirements.
- Heavy metals biosensor: The heavy metal biosensor was tested for its ability to quantify various metal ions in seawater. The MariaBox generic heavy metals biosensor can be used as a generic early warning system with respect to the increased presence of heavy metals (monitoring of protected marine parks).
- Saxitoxin biosensor: A biosensor for Saxitoxin. All MariaBox biosensors for algae toxins are a significant advancement of the state-of-the-art, since currently these toxins are not measured directly in water, but, usually, in shellfish flesh
- Microcystin biosensor: A biosensor for Microcystin
- Azaspiracid biosensor: A biosensor for Azaspiracid
- Domoic Acid biosensor: A biosensor for Domoic Acid
Radical Innovation Breakthrough
Lab-On-A-Chip.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
Our needs are

- Collaboration
We specifically need / are looking for
We are looking for collaborations that can helo of further improve and validate the sensors, in view of commercial application in selected sectors.
Target audiences
- Research and Technology Organisations
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
Current stage description
Validations have been made in relevant environment (sea-water), but real-world validations were limited. Thus, more validations in the sea are required. Optimisation of the sensors is also required, in view of specific applications.
