What problems are we solving?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Metals, including calcium, are vital<\/strong> to the health, growth, moulting, and survival of fish, shellfish and seaweed.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Current testing methods for dissolved calcium in aquaculture settings trade accuracy for speed.<\/strong> They either slow, expensive and accurate, or fast but inaccurate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • This results in poor control and compromised animal welfare, productivity, and profitability.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Our discovery & its applications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • We have developed a range of novel sensing molecules for dissolved calcium.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • These molecules deliver accurate, real-time and continuous monitoring<\/span> <\/strong>of dissolved calcium.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Trustworthy, automated, real-time calcium data will improve animal health, yield and<\/strong> sustainability, <\/strong>across the fastest growing food-production sector worldwide. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Our novel calcium sensing molecules<\/strong> have a range of potential applications <\/strong>when applied to a substrate:

                – aquaculture – commercial freshwater and saline settings
                – home aquaria
                – environmental monitoring
                – environmental monitoring
                – water supply analysis
                – healthcare <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

                Patent application & Beta testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Our patent application was filed 3rd<\/sup> Feb 2026.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • We are developing a substrate to Beta test <\/strong>in freshwater and marine commercial aquaculture settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • We are working with optical sensor experts Seneye Ltd<\/strong> to develop a device for Beta testing. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      • Seneye IOT sensors <\/strong>deliver constant and accurate monitoring of key aquatic parameters, providing rich information and complete remote data collection. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
