Electrochemical sensors for the detection of water pollutants, by Martí Gich (ICMAB, CSIC) and César Hernández (IMB-CNM, CSIC)

Written by Maite on March 31, 2023. Posted in Science outreach.

Martí Gich and César Fernández were in @ForoTransfiere in Málaga. There, they showed how fast (less than 10 min!!) it is to analyze pollutants in water with the electrochemical sensor they developed.
