It is the year 2022 and there is no established and scalable method for measuring microplastics - yet. Without sufficient data on the contamination of microplastics in food and the environment, there is no basis for its reduction. So far, one of the main reasons for this has been the lack of solutions for data analysis of microplastics measurements.
We have many years of experience in the analysis of microplastics and were able to overcome this hurdle by means of machine learning. We develop fast and robust algorithms to accurately classify microplastics regarding their size, quantity and type - within minutes. Bundled in a software this enables laboratories to measure microplastics with reliable, fast and comparable results.
