Abstract

A low-cost and low-powered electro-mechanical device was designed and tested to perform a continuous monitoring tracking of sea contaminants. In particular, we focus our work on the biodetection of Irgarol, a specific seawater contaminant, selected as a proof-of-concept for the measurement system. The device based its measurement on a continuous analyte flow mode over the sensor cavity, followed by a sensor cleaning and regeneration process, which will prepare the sensor for the next measurement. All the system was designed to prioritize accuracy and repeatability.
