Collaboration on Sensor Applications
Wed, 02/07/2008
PUB, Singapore’s national water agency, and Optiqua Technologies, provider of optical biosensors for the water industry have signed an agreement for a joint collaboration on sensor technology. The objective of the collaboration is to test, validate and provide user feedback for Optiqua’s sensor applications.
Optiqua has developed a sensor technology platform that combines real-time analysis with laboratory-sensitive levels for the detection of organic and micro biological contaminants in water. Optiqua is a subsidiary of the Dutch biotechnology company Optisense.
Scheduled to start in September 2008, the collaboration will involve a series of different test programs, which will provide important feedback for the final development stage of Optiqua products before its launch in 2009.
Mr Harry Seah, PUB’s Director of Technology and Water Quality said to be continuously looking for new and innovative ways to enhance our water treatment and monitoring process.
