Politox - Model MB-RES -Water Toxicity Measurement Sensors
The large number of toxic agents in the water might require an equally large number of specific sensors for each toxic. However, WOLA’s solution is to grow a specific indicator microorganisms – sensor microorganism – whose metabolism will be affected in a higher or lower range depending on the quantity of the total toxicity in the water. Analysing the variation in the microorganism metabolism function charts, the AI can give us a first approach about the kind of toxicity existing in the water, whereas the MB-Politox will keep samples of the analysed water which toxicity levels exceed the prefixed limits.
POLYTOX-RES has the following key features:
- Automated real-time monitoring of the overall toxicity present in water.
- Short time (90 minutes) analysis at low operational costs.
- Online Control Interface: Access via mobile phone, website, tablet.
- Early Warning – above parameter limits- samples capture for a posterior analysis in a laboratory.
- Self-cleaning device.
- Regeneration of the sensor microorganism after each analysis
POLYTOX-RES is a powerful surveillance tool for any type of water pollution, either by organic or inorganic, with particular application in wastewater treatment plants, industry and environmental protection areas, giving early alarms to allow quick reaction in the event of water spills.

The POLYTOX-RES software, developed by BIOSENSORES shows accurately and in real time the degree of contamination of water through the respirometric response of the microorganisms to the effect in their different metabolic route of toxic substances in the analyzed water sample.
The POLYTOX-RES software, developed by BIOSENSORES shows accurately and in real time the water contamination level through the breathing-measurement response of the microorganisms, showing how the toxic is affecting to their different metabolic route.
