toxic algae, or cyanobacteria, as it’s actually called, are becoming more common due to global warming. Mainly affected cattle in hot environments in Africa, Australia and the southern United States.
– Animals and humans suffer in the same way. But this is especially important for the cattle, as they drink from ponds and lakes that are often not monitored, says Lesedi Lebogang, recently completed his doctorate in biotechnology at Lund University.
The basic technique was previously. But now, Lebogang, along with the other researchers managed to bake it all down in an automatic transmission.
– It saves time, money and lives. You should soon be able to go directly to the field and take the equipment with them, instead of sending the samples back to the lab.
The sensor can track extremely small protein concentrations in liquids, which are then amplified and converted into measurable electrical signals .
To give an example that would be enough to fill the protein molecules in the Baltic equivalent quantity of sugar molecules there are two sugar cubes for the instrument to give a reading.
