Serial production of handy water quality analyzers CleanH2O developed
by mLab young specialists is possible in Armenia, Technical Manager
of the mLab team, Narek Hayrapetyan told ArmInfo.
He said that it will not be difficult to launch production of the
analyzer as the components for the core module are on the open market
worldwide.
Hayrapetyan said that the final prototype of the analyzer is currently
being developed, with mLab developing hardware and software.
"We are currently working to develop the idea through creation of
new prototypes of CleanH2O device for measuring maximum big quantity
of physical and chemical parameters of water and to reduce the cost
value of the device," Hayrapetyan explained.
By preliminary calculations, the analyzer will cost some $200. Similar
devices are produced abroad, which allow measuring less quantity of
physical and chemical parameters of water irrespective of whether it
is inexpensive devices, the ones cost $300-$400, or laboratory big
devices cost up to $5000.
The developer-engineer said that the final prototype of the analyzer
will be completed within the current year. The existing prototypes
have already been offered to the Armenian and foreign organizations
engaged in water management and most of them have already displayed
an interest in the device.
He recalled that mLab won the competition among young developers
Imagine Cup of Microsoft Corporation in the country with its project
of handy water analyzer and participated in the final in 2012.
Afterwards, mLab received a US$15,000 grant from CRDF (U.S. Civilian
Research and Development Foundation) for further development of
the project. Microsoft Innovation Center Armenia contributes to
implementation of CleanH2O project.
