Low-cost EPR sensor on chip to boost quality control of food products
Developed by researchers at HZB and the University of Stuttgart, the portable, small and inexpensive 'EPR on a chip' sensor will first be used in the production of olive oil and beer to ensure the quality of these products.
Researchers have introduced an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) sensor that fits on a small chip to detect free radicals in food products even at very low concentrations. “We will produce small, portable and affordable EPR devices based on the combination of a microchip and permanent magnets that can be tailored to the customer’s needs,” explains physicist Michele Segantini (HZB), who is about to complete his PhD in Prof. Klaus Lips’ department. In the future, the founders plan to adapt their product also to other areas of application, such as medical diagnostics, drug development, semiconductor technology and battery monitoring, according to HZB.
