M OTIVATION Providing clean water is one of the essentials of modern societies. The currently used cultivation techniques do not allow prompt monitoring and control. However, the ability to continuously detect waterborne contaminants is desirable and would allow immediate reactions on emergencies.

C ONCEPT The main goal of the project EDIT is the development of a concentration and detection system for the inline monitoring of waterborne organisms in water. The concept integrates innovative techniques to detect health related microorganisms by a sequence of concentration, extraction and molecular biological detection with live / dead differentiation.
