Environmental Bio-Detection Products Inc. (EBPI) is a Mississauga-based biotechnology company specializing in the development and manufacture of biological testing kits for a variety of cellular metabolism byproducts. Their tests can detect specific toxic responses to pure chemicals, or complex compound mixtures, in environmental samples. EBPI currently sells their products to academic institutions, government regulators and private industry in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. This The objective of this collaboration with Seneca will design, build and test a functional prototype of a "turn-key" system to adjust pH prior to sample loading onto filter paper (SPE filters), which functions in a high water flow, rather than static, environment. Professor Kyle Valdock will lead the project, supported by a student Research Assistant (RA) from Seneca's School of Electronics, Mechanical and Engineering Technologies (SEMET). The RA will apply theoretical knowledge and skills, while developing hands on experience in the development and optimization of process control for water treatment. The benefit of a complete system for high-flow water testing will allow for a better picture of complete water samples as the system will allow collection over a period of time (up to 48 hours) versus current "grab sample" techniques which only provide a snapshot. If successful, the system resulting from this research project will increase export sales from Canada, improve Canada's reputation in the drinking water technology field and provide jobs in southern Ontario to manufacture current products and develop future products that use this technology.

环境生物检测产品公司（EBPI）是一家位于密西沙加的生物技术公司，专门针对各种细胞代谢副产品开发和制造生物测试套件。他们的测试可以检测到环境样品中对纯化学物质或复杂化合物混合物的特定毒性反应。 EBPI目前将其产品出售给北美，欧洲，非洲和亚洲的学术机构，政府监管机构和私营企业。这是与塞内卡（Seneca）合作的目的，将设计，构建和测试“交钥匙”系统的功能原型，以调整样品加载到滤纸上（SPE过滤器）之前，该系统在高水流中起作用，而不是静态环境。凯尔·瓦尔多克（Kyle Valdock）教授将领导该项目，并得到塞内卡电子，机械和工程技术学院（SEMET）的学生研究助理（RA）的支持。 RA将运用理论知识和技能，同时在开发和优化水处理过程中发展经验。完整系统对高流量水测试的好处将允许更好地了解完整的水样品，因为该系统将在一段时间内（最多48小时）收集与当前的“ Grab Sample”技术，仅提供快照。如果成功，该研究项目产生的系统将增加加拿大的出口销售，提高加拿大在饮用水技术领域的声誉，并在安大略省南部提供就业机会，以制造当前产品并开发使用该技术的未来产品。
