MICROPLASTICS TECHNOLOGY

INNOVATIVE. RAPID. SMART.

Ocean Diagnostics pioneers sampling, imaging, sensing and data solutions for microplastics and fibers in marine, freshwater and water treatment systems.

ADVANCING SCIENTIFIC DATA THROUGH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

At Ocean Diagnostics, our technology is designed specifically to solve the challenges of quantifying and tracking microplastics in marine, freshwater and water treatment systems.

​

Whether you collect visible microplastics at the surface of the water using net tows or beach surveys, sample microplastics through the water column, measure microplastics upstream, in or downstream from water treatment facilities, or need tools to aggregate, visualize and collaborate on microplastics data, we streamline your process and increase the global data needed to influence change.

ASCENSION

Portable depth sampler to collect filtered microplastic samples

  • Collect samples down to 400m without the need for large, expensive research vessels and heavy sampling equipment

  • Deploy anytime from a small vessel or install in a stationary location for an automated time-series deployment

  • Collect up to 7 different samples with up to two nested 47mm diameter filters

  • Minimize contamination

  • Track real-time data including depth, flow rate, temperature, battery level and more.

SATURNA

AI-based microplastics imaging system

  • Saturna is a portable research tool that uses customized computer vision algorithms and machine learning (AI) to accurately analyze visible microplastic particles such as those from beach cleanups and net tows

  • Rapidly receive highly-standardized image analyses, including 13 size metrics and colour analysis for every particle analyzed, cutting hours of analysis time into minutes
