Project ObjectivesIn this pathfinder project we will employ Qi3 to undertake a full market assessment of the MicroFTS instrument. QI3 will be employed to:1) Map market drivers for adoption and routes to market for MicroFTS in the water and environmental sectors.2) Identify the size of the potential DOC instrumentation market in the UK / globally, and the potential value proposition of MicroFTS.3) Develop viable business models and market strategies for commercial exploitationThis will be achieved by working closely with Qi3. CEH will manage the project, and will discuss the needs of the team at regular intervals through the course of the project. Impact There are several routes we could take to full commercialisation of the instrument. Through this porject, we will hope to eliminate poor routes, and identify strong options for commercial development of the product.By identifying an optimal strategy, it will help focus our effort on defining the final footprint of the instrument. Identifying a commercial partner through the course of this research will also bring the instrument to market more quickly. This will form the basis of our follow on fund application. The market research will also help better inform the range of end users. Currently we have been working with the Utility companies and the Environment Agency who measure DOC using wet chemistry techniques. We believe there are other markets available, but these are ill defined or not yet understood. We would hope that Qi3 will provide this information, which will better inform the final design of the instrument. These refinements can be incorporated into any future proposals such as the follow on fund application.

项目目标在这个探索者项目中，我们将利用QI3对MicroFTS仪器进行全面的市场评估。QI3将用于：1)绘制水和环境行业采用MicroFTS的市场驱动因素和市场路线2)确定英国/全球潜在DOC仪器市场的规模，以及MicroFTS的潜在价值主张。3)为商业开发制定可行的商业模式和市场战略这将通过与QI3的密切合作实现。CEH将管理该项目，并在整个项目过程中定期讨论团队的需求。影响我们可以采取几条途径来实现该仪器的完全商业化。通过这个项目，我们将希望消除糟糕的路线，并为产品的商业开发找到强有力的选择。通过确定最佳战略，它将有助于我们将精力集中在定义工具的最终足迹上。通过本研究过程确定商业合作伙伴也将使该仪器更快地推向市场。这将成为我们后续资金申请的基础。市场研究还将有助于更好地向终端用户范围提供信息。目前，我们一直在与公用事业公司和环境局合作，他们使用湿化学技术测量DOC。我们相信还有其他可用的市场，但这些市场定义不清，或者还没有被理解。我们希望QI3将提供这些信息，这将更好地为仪器的最终设计提供信息。这些改进可以纳入任何未来的提案，如后续基金申请。
