IIT Guwahati Develops Portable 'E-Eye' Device for Rapid Water Toxicant Detection
Researchers at IIT Guwahati have developed 'E-Eye,' a portable optical sensing device that rapidly detects toxicants like arsenic, lead, and E. coli in water and biological samples. The device uses chemical reactions to produce color changes analyzed through optical principles, converting results into digital data for on-site monitoring. Aligned with India's Jal Jeevan Mission, E-Eye offers a cost-effective alternative to laboratory tests and wirelessly transmits data to water treatment facilities, supporting efforts to ensure safe drinking water.
