The platform integrates a mobile vehicle with optical, bio-molecular,immunoassay methods, enabling on-site, quickmulti-target determination of harmful cyanobacteriatheir metabolites. The platform was successfully tested for more than 100 times in 10 major drinking water reservoirs in Taiwan. Based on the information obtained, reservoir managers are able to trigger responses to the incidents of cyanobacteria.

This is the world＇s first mobile platform for rapid detection of harmful cyanobacteriatheir metabolites in drinking water reservoirs. After sampling, all important cyanobacteria, cyanotoxins,odor compounds related information can be collected within 3 hours on-site. This technique is able to identify both the toxicnon-toxic strains of the same cyanobacterial species, for which tradi

This technique can be directly applied to reservoirsdrinking water treatment plants (DWTPs),have the potential to be used in groundwater contaminated sites (GCSs), wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs),water recycling plants (WRPs). The numbers of reservoirsDWTPs are more than 10,000 in Asia. In addition, the numbers of GCSs, WWTPs,WRPs are more than 10,000 in Asia. This tec
