Ultra miniaturised, low-power, high precision, robust CT-DO sensor system exploitation

该项目将有助于将南安普敦国家海洋学中心和南安普敦大学合作开发的海洋/环境传感器技术的最新发明商业化。他们已经开发出新型的小型化高性能传感器，可以测量水的电导率、温度和含氧量。这些参数的测量在淡水和咸水(海水)的广泛环境研究中是必不可少的。这些新传感器的小尺寸和高性能表明，它们可以开发成一种对科学和工业都有潜在好处的产品。在这个项目之前，发明人已经委托进行了一次市场调查，这突出了一些部门的相当大的市场。至关重要的是，潜在客户包括潜在销售量大的行业的非科学家。该项目寻求进一步调查这些商业机会，并对该技术进行全面的改编和测试，以便向关键用户群体和公司进行演示。该项目还将探索商业模式、合作伙伴关系、专利申请和制造路线。

This project will aid the commercialisation of recent inventions of oceanographic / environmental sensor technology developed in collaboration by the National Oceanography Centre Southampton and the University of Southampton. They have developed novel miniaturised high performance sensors that measure the conductivity, temperature and oxygen content of water. The measurement of these parameters is essential in a wide range of environmental studies in both fresh and salt (sea) water. The small size and high performance of these new sensors suggests that they could be developed into a product with potential benefits to both science and industry. Prior to this project the inventors have commissioned a market survey and this has highlighted sizeable markets in a number of sectors. Crucially the potential customers include non scientists in sectors where potential sales volumes are large. This project seeks to investigate these commercial opportunities further and complete adaptation and testing of the technology to allow it to be demonstrated to key user groups and companies. The project will also explore business models, partnerships, patenting, and routes to manufacture.
