Description
Seacoast Science has licensed, for the purpose of technology transfer, the NIST patent “Recirculating Temperature Wave Focusing Chromatography,” with the goal of implementing the technology into a unique environmental monitor. Seacoast believes the NIST technology can improve Seacoast’s environmental monitor, allowing for an order of magnitude cost reduction for long-term monitoring at remediation sites. In the U.S., the EPA has identified over 425,000 brownfields and 1,320 Superfund sites where hazardous chemicals have been used and unhealthy levels of these chemicals may remain in the soil and subterranean water. Seacoast will develop an environmental monitor, with emphasis toward petrochemicals and chlorinated solvents, to install at these remediated sites to assure a healthy environment.
