Competitive Advantages
- Fast and accurate detection of contaminant exposure
- Portable and able to detect contamination on site
- Can be engineered to detect other heavy metal contaminants
Summary
USF inventors have developed a novel lead detection system that comprises an infrared (IR) light source, detector, and a coupling device that is in communication with the light detector. The reflected signature of this light can be analyzed by the computing device to determine which lead contaminants, if any, are present on the surface. It is a fast, accurate, and simple test that can be carried out by any personnel.
