It's ironic that in places where drinking water needs to be checked for microbes the most, labs that can perform the analysis are least likely to be present. A new "lensless" device could help, as it uses light to instantly detect harmful microorganisms.
Usually, in order to check drinking water for bacteria, a sample of that water must be cultured in a Petri dish for 12 to 48 hours. Not only does this process take a long time, but it has to be performed by trained personnel in [...]

Researchers have shown that a fluorescence detection system that doesn't contain any lenses can provide highly sensitive detection of deadly microorganisms in drinking water. With further development, the new approach could provide a low-cost and easy-to-use way to monitor water quality in resource-limited settings such as developing countries or areas affected by disasters. It could also be useful when water safety results are needed quickly, such as for swimming events, a concern [...]

(IN BRIEF) Researchers from the University of York, Phutung Research Institute in Nepal, and the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil have developed realtimeWAS, an innovative, low-cost, portable sensor for real-time detection of bacterial contamination in drinking water. This handheld device, which meets WHO standards, is designed for easy public use and is set to revolutionize water quality monitoring, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Supported by the University of York and [...]

Des chercheurs ont montré qu'un système de détection par fluorescence sans lentille permettait de détecter avec une grande sensibilité des micro-organismes mortels dans l'eau potable. Avec des développements ultérieurs, cette nouvelle approche pourrait fournir un moyen peu coûteux et facile à utiliser pour surveiller la qualité de l'eau dans les environnements aux ressources limitées, comme les pays en [...]
