About
AquaMicroBiomeDB
AquaMicrobiomeDB is an innovative project focused on creating a groundbreaking technological platform for monitoring and optimizing recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). This includes hatcheries, grow-out units, and aquaponics. The platform will provide a decision-support system that combines online monitoring of chemical and biological parameters with next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, which is currently not available in the market
How We Are Innovating
Integrated Technology:
Our technology combines plasmonic/electrochemical sensors, NGS microbiome analysis with dedicated aqua microbiome database.
Real-time, On-site Data:
We will provide actionable insights, not just lab-based reports.
Comprehensive Coverage:
We are able to monitor pathogens, off-flavour compounds, and H₂S, plus the entire microbial community.
Cost-effective and Sensitive:
our solution is cost-effective and offers H₂S detection down to 1 μg/L and multiplex sensing for multiple targets per device.
Actionable Recommendations:
Our licensed database access provides tailored advice for hatcheries, grow-outs, and aquaponics systems.
