Artificial Mussels (AM) - A breakthrough for water quality monitoring
A novel chemical sampling device, Artificial mussels (AM) for monitoring trace metals, was developed by a research team led by Prof. Rudolf WU. This method has been used in 30+ countries for toxic trace metals monitoring.
Can AM be used in dissolved oxygen monitoring?
Dissolved oxygen (OD) is the oxygen content in water. DO is essential for the survival of marine lives. However, the current methods for continuous DO monitoring is limited by the high cost of the sensors and their frequent maintenance.
Inspired by the Artificial mussels, Prof. Rudolf WU initiated the research on low-cost dissolved oxygen monitoring.
