An Affordable Microsphere-Based Device for Visual Assessment of Water Quality

An Affordable Microsphere-Based Device for Visual Assessment of Water Quality

This work developed a prototype of an affordable, long-term water quality detection device that provides a visual readout upon detecting bacterial contamination. This device prototype consists of: (1) enzyme-releasing microspheres that lyse bacteria present in a sample, (2) microspheres that release...
