Happy to announce that one of the leaders of  SCERA Project, Silvia Lacorte,  has won the Pitch Competition session of the EBTon program, a CSIC initiative to catalyze the creation of new spin-offs based on CSIC technologies. The award is endowed with €20,000 in funding. The ceremony was held yesterday, July 17, at the CSIC Delegation of Catalonia in Barcelona.

The Ceramic Passive Sampler (CPS) detects organic contaminants in water over time, allowing comprehensive assessment. Developed by the IDAEA researcher and coordinator of the SCERA Project, Sílvia Lacorte Bruguera, this passive device is versatile in its application because it doesn’t clog in rivers, drinking, underground, sewage, or marine waters.

“The sampler provides accurate and reliable results, is economical, meets quality standards and is aligned with European directives for integrated water control”
