DeepVerge plc
( "DeepVerge")
DeepVerge collaborate with Microsaic Systems plc to launch range
of miniature mass spectrometers with triple quadrupole limits of
detection for organic chemical analysis in water and soil
Combined micro-engineering technology, software and AI create
unique identification detection system for Chemicals of Emerging
Concern[i] (CEC) and Forever Chemicals[ii] (PFAS)
DeepVerge (LSE:DVRG.L) , is pleased to announce continued
progress through its collaboration with Microsaic Systems plc (AIM:
MSYS) to provide real-time monitoring solutions to detect and
identify contaminants in water and soil.
Microsaic has launched a miniaturised mass spectrometer platform
which provides fully integrated front-end solutions, with software
upgrades using AI from DeepVerge, to achieve triple quadrupole
limits of detection for real-time monitoring and identification of
organic chemicals in water and soil. 'Triple quad' limits of
detection mean inc reased sensitivity and specificity, which allows
detection and quantitation at lower limits than conventional single
quadrupole mass spectroscopy.
DeepVerge plc environmental division has implemented real-time
services for the automated detection and identification of metals
and pathogens[iii] and adding the Microsaic platform augments this
offering with automated real time detection and expert analysis of
dangerous organic chemicals in water and soil.
-- Detection capability for a variety of contaminants and toxic bad actors adds:
o Organic chemical expertise and detection of CECs, currently
unregulated and unmeasured, with the European Chemical Agency in
2020, identifying 290 chemical candidates for regulatory action by
the European Commission[iv];
-- New platform augments revenue channels of both companies
without re-engineering business infrastructure:
o Screening - project deployment (e.g. Site remediation, clean
up, chronic or acute spills), mobile laboratory/van etc.;
o Monitoring - site surveillance (e.g. waste water treatment
plants, sites of special interest)
-- Retrofit or standalone integration of high-tech hardware, software and AI adds:
o Unified data handling;
o Unified/integrated sampling strategies;
o Unified front to customers installations and
collaborations;
o Powerful and accurate analysis of aggregated data with AI
delivering the ability to detect an array of targets in a single
platform and with predictive alert capability;
The new portable Microsaic platform, with triple quadrupole
limits of detection is unique, bringing laboratory quality
performance to the front-line, at a fraction of the cost and up to
90% smaller than traditional triple quadrupole mass spectrometry
equipment, reducing workflows and allowing real-time manual, or
automated, decision making in real-time.
Gerard Brandon, DeepVerge plc CEO commented:
"By combining our expertise in contaminant monitoring, we are
able to offer new, innovative real-time monitoring solutions to our
existing customers and open new global opportunities for
fully-integrated water and soil detection of a broad range of
pathogens and chemicals not least of which is the current
COVID-SARS-CoV-2 global health crisis, providing the potential to
identify virus hotspots in real-time."
Glenn Tracey, CEO of Microsaic Systems plc, commented:
"The Microsaic team has achieved two major milestones: first, a
range of miniaturised portable mass spectrometry systems with
triple quadrupole limits of detection, and second, access to new
sources of income from revenue sharing monitoring services that
offer protection to society against the silent killer of chemicals
of emerging concern. "
"The combination of Microsaic and DeepVerge capabilities
provides impressive coverage between chemicals and pathogens in our
waters and soil. The Microsaic Board believes that data driven
monitoring capability is of great interest to government,
industrial and agricultural stakeholders which is already seen from
significant interest from clients."
