SciTOX™

 

Environmental monitoring is essential to safeguard communities from the release of contaminants into water.  To meet the demand for fast, portable and cost-effective monitoring of toxic biological effects, Lincoln Ventures has been developing a tool to rapidly measure the toxicity of water borne contaminants by monitoring their effect on microorganisms.  The test can identify the presence of harmful toxins within just five minutes.
