Understanding the Invisible Environmental Threat
Microplastics are spreading globally, contaminating water, ecosystems, and human health at alarming rates.
Microplastics are detected in oceans, rivers, bottled water, and even human tissue globally.
Current laboratory methods cost $50k–$250k and take days to provide results.
There is no affordable, field-ready solution for rapid microplastic detection yet.
The Problem
The Invisible Environmental Threat
Microplastics are found in oceans, rivers, bottled water, & human tissue.
Expensive Testing
Testing requires expensive FTIR/Raman lab systems ($50k– $250k+)
Slow Turnaround
Slow turnaround (days to weeks)
No Portability
No affordable, portable detection solution
