Microsaic Systems plc
("Microsaic" or the "Company")
Microsaic collaborates with DeepVerge plc to launch range of
miniature mass spectrometers with triple quadrupole limits of
detection for organic chemical analysis in water and soil
Combined micro-engineering technology, software and AI create
unique identification detection system for Chemicals of Emerging
Concern [i] (CEC) including Forever Chemicals [ii] (PFAS)
Microsaic (AIM:MSYS) , is pleased to announce continued progress
through its collaboration with DeepVerge plc ("DeepVerge") (AIM:
DVRG) to provide real-time monitoring solutions to detect and
identify contaminants in water and soil.
Microsaic has launched a miniaturised mass spectrometer platform
which provides fully integrated front-end solutions, with software
upgrades using AI from DeepVerge, to achieve triple quadrupole
limits of detection for real-time monitoring and identification of
organic chemicals in water and soil. 'Triple quad' limits of
detection mean inc reased sensitivity and specificity, which allows
detection and quantitation at lower limits than conventional single
quadrupole mass spectroscopy.
In collaboration with DeepVerge plc environmental division, who
has implemented real-time services for the automated detection and
identification of metals and pathogens [iii] , Microsaic augments
this offering now with automated real-time detection and expert
analysis of dangerous organic chemicals in water and soil.
-- Detection capability for a variety of contaminants and toxic bad actors adds:
o Organic chemical expertise and detection of CECs, currently
unregulated and unmeasured, with the European Chemical Agency in
2020 identifying 290 chemical candidates for regulatory action by
the European Commission [iv]
-- New platform augments revenue channels of both companies
without re-engineering business infrastructure:
o Screening - project deployment (e.g. site remediation, clean
up, chronic or acute spills), mobile laboratory/van etc.
o Monitoring - site surveillance (e.g. waste water treatment
plants, sites of special interest)
-- Retrofit or standalone integration of high-tech hardware, software and AI adds:
o Unified data handling
o Unified/integrated sampling strategies
o Unified front-end to customers installations and
collaborations
o Powerful and accurate analysis of aggregated data with AI
delivering the ability to detect an array of targets in a single
platform and with predictive alert capability
The new portable Microsaic platform, with triple quadrupole
limits of detection is unique, bringing laboratory quality
performance to the front-line, at a fraction the cost and up to 90%
smaller than traditional triple quadrupole mass spectrometry
equipment, reducing workflows and allowing real-time manual, or
automated, decision making in real-time.
Glenn Tracey, CEO of Microsaic Systems plc, commented:
"The Microsaic team has achieved two major milestones: first, a
range of miniaturised portable mass spectrometry systems with
triple quadrupole limits of detection, and second, access to
potential new sources of shared income from monitoring services
that offer protection to society against the silent killer of
chemicals of emerging concern. "
"This combination of capabilities from Microsaic and DeepVerge
provides impressive coverage between chemicals and pathogens in our
waters and soil. The Microsaic Board believes that data-driven
monitoring capability is of great interest to government,
industrial and agricultural stakeholders which is already
generating significant interest from prospective clients."
Gerard Brandon, DeepVerge plc CEO, commented:
"By combining our expertise in contaminant monitoring, we are
able to offer new, innovative real-time monitoring solutions to our
existing customers and open new global opportunities for
fully-integrated water and soil detection of a broad range of
pathogens and chemicals. This includes detecting the presence of
COVID-SARS-CoV-2, providing the potential to identify virus
hotspots more rapidly and cost effectively than by direct human
testing."
