Agricultural Products Monitoring

Fluctuations in nutrient content, texture, water-holding capacity, element mobility, and microbiota affect the growth and development of fruits, crops, and vegetables. Therefore, it is essential to monitor these components to ensure effective resource management and optimize agricultural practices. However, detection of analytes in agricultural products faces multiple challenges, such as laborious sample preparation, and need for heavy instrumentation techniques that can only be available in centralized labs. To address these challenges, automated microfluidic chips integrated with effective sample preparation process and sensitive detect sensors are developed for streamlining the monitoring process and providing more comprehensive insights into the quality and safety of agricultural products.

What We Can Do for You

STEMart integrates microfluidics techniques with multiple detection methods such as colorimetric method, fluorescence method, electrochemical method and chemiluminescence methods, etc. to detect different analytes of interest within fruits, crops, vegetables and dairy products.

• Pesticide Residues Detection

Detect and distinguish different types of pesticide residues (such as carbendazim, diazine, fenvalerate, and pentachloronitrobenzene), even at low concentrations.

• Foodborne Pathogens Detection

Quantitatively and qualitatively detect multiple harmful pathogens such as E. coli., Salmonella, and Listeria.

• Nutrient Analysis

Analyze the nutrient content of agricultural products, providing information on levels of important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

• Quality Control

Detect changes in pH, moisture content, and other key parameters that affect the quality and freshness of agricultural products during storage and transportation.
