Sensor arrays for environmental, generic and routine detection of pesticides

Objective

The SAFEGARD project is designed to systematically evaluate novel enzymes, produced by molecular biology techniques to be selectively responsive and sensitive to the presence of pesticides. These enzymes will be the basis for the production established sensors, able to rapidly and routinely quantify pesticides in water another environmental samples at concentrations below recommended acceptance levels. The sensors will be fabricated by advanced interfacial techniques usingnanobiotechnology, structural modelling, electrochemical approaches and incorporated into arrays. Instrumentation will be produced, with software control, data processing, chemo metric analysis and routine monitoring capabilities. Evaluation of the sensor arrays and instrumentation will also be performed.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
