Meet the world’s first solid-state “artificial tongue” which could improve quality control, reduce testing times from weeks to seconds and deliver significant operational efficiencies to manufacturers worldwide in the beverage, fragrance and agricultural industries.

Back at Scottish Water’s Carron Valley Treatment Works with our new portable Artificial Taste Bud system.
Testing on real-world water treatment contamination challenges. Early results look very promising. Getting closer to an industry-ready monitoring solution. @UofGlasgow
