The Polysensor is a low-cost and easy-to-use testing kit for measuring levels of water impurities. The instrument is battery operated and portable for field use.
The system uses the basic operating principle of potentiometry. It provides direct readouts after automatic comparison with World Health Organization specified limits.
The system can perform the following tests: -pH, -Electrical Conductance(EC) -Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) -Nitrate Ion -Chloride Ion -Salinity -Fluoride ion (to be added)
The development of the Polysensor is a project of the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay. The project aims to provide a low-cost and simple system of testing for impurities in water that can be used by people with a little training. The system was developed as a robust solution with moisture and fungi-resilient sensors.
With some modifications, the system will be suitable for testing for soil condition and adulteration of milk. It is proposed to develop a system for health-care diagnostics based on biosensors that have been created in IIT Bombay labs over the past fifteen years.
