- This work demonstrates a £1 single cell analysis microchip that outperforms a £100K cytometer. Replacing the complex fluid handling (commercial systems) with advanced signal processing facilitates miniaturisation of the entire system, enabling characterisation of algae directly in seawater. This led to a grant £202,498 (NE/P010970/1) for continuous in-situ surveillance of the environment to detect harmful algal blooms. Project partners (CEFAS, Weymouth) are evaluating the technology as a replacement for manual microscopy analysis and it will be trailed as an early warning system with end users (Offshore Shellfish Ltd). The research could provide solutions for a global marine debris observing system:https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmars.2019.00447/full#B114
