Products
Second-generation aquatic biomonitor device
An online biomonitor device that circulates site water through multiple discrete chambers each housing a live fish; sensors capture respiratory bioelectric signals which are processed and analyzed to detect acutely toxic chemicals in real time.
Monitoring-as-a-Service (MaaS)
A 24x7 no-touch alert subscription system that uses live fish (Bluegills) to continuously monitor water quality and detect chemical contamination.
BG-2
The 2nd generation physical online monitoring device of the BG-n product line that continuously monitors water streams for toxic chemicals using live Bluegills.
