ENVITOX

Advanced water toxicity monitoring and detection ENVITOX is a biotechnology-based company which is active in the field of environmental and industrial monitoring. ENVITOX has been trying to incorporate biotechnological tools into monitoring solutions in the last 9 years ago. Environmental monitoring using lab technologies is normally expensive and inaccessible in most occasions. Portable devices and point-of-care monitoring is of utmost importance nowadays. Biosensor development for toxin detection is a priority for ENVITOX team. Our team has focused on using microorganisms, living cells and biomolecules as reporting agents of environmental hazards. The main reason of using biological entities instead of other reporting agents is that they are the final target of every kind of toxin and we don’t have thorough knowledge of all the toxic material yet. The Research by ENVITOX team covers a wide array of bioreporters which mainly belong to bacteria, algae and fungi groups.
