ECOBIOSENSOR
ECO-DESIGN OF BIOSENSORS FOR FOOD SAFETY DIAGNOSIS
SIMPLE, COST-EFFICIENT AND PORTABLE DIAGNOSTIC DEVICES BASED ON DISPOSABLE OR SINGLE-USE SYSTEMS are increasingly applied in the food industry as well as in the clinical and veterinary sector. These devices are replacing more tedious and costly traditional methods. The application of materials with a reduced environmental footprint and miniaturisation of analytical devices are promising strategies to reduce the environmental impact caused by the massive use of these devices. BIOLAN, a leading company in analytical technology applied to the food and health sectors, has identifi ed an opportunity to develop a new generation of more sustainable biosensors that contribute to the dematerialisation and increased recyclability of BIOLAN products. TEKNIKER and GRUNVER have also participated in ECOBIOSENSOR: in the development of the measuring equipment, and the life cycle analysis of the current and new solution, respectively.
