BIOsens – cutting-edge portable device for precise and rapid analysis of crops

Project description

Smart device for mycotoxin-free food production

Mycotoxins may be invisible, but they are very harmful to human health. About a quarter of the world’s harvested crops are contaminated by mycotoxins, causing major trade losses for agricultural businesses. This can be solved only by early and on-site detection of mycotoxins. The EU-funded BIOsens project is designing a handy portable device for accurate and rapid mycotoxin analysis for commercialisation on a global scale. The EU’s SME Instrument Phase 1 funding programme will ensure market needs are met. To do so, the project will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the target market.
