Novel chip sensor makes swimming pools safer

A new microchip that enables continuous monitoring of pH and chlorine levels in swimming pools will vastly improve water safety and hygiene for more than 2.7 million Australians as new research shows it can deliver consistent and accurate pool chemistry for reliable pool management. Developed by the University of South Australia, in partnership with Tekelek Australia, the new 'lab-on-a-chip' technology, makes monitoring swimming pools more affordable, even on existing pools.
