Presentation of the project content: the project aims to develop a new water analysis system for natural and artificial waters, allowing complex, systematic and for main parameters in situ assessment and monitoring of water quality, by developing a modular instrument family that can be individually configured for target tasks at each monitoring point. Project objectives are facilitated by utilizing sampling devices applicable in ecological water habitats and by adapting it to the ecological characteristics of wetlands. The novelty of the concept is the combination of direct and immunofluorescence as well as laser spectroscopic measurement methods, with the use of cutting edge optical and photonic devices. The instrument family will allow rapid and cost-effective installation and operation of water contaminant monitoring in a wide range of water quality problems, even in disasters.
