The optic biome sensor (OBS) that Mx (emukk) is developing is based on an optical fiber sensor, and has been devised under the motto of low cost, easy-to-usey and high speed sensing.
The first OBS (OBS1) was an demonstrator of this idea, and its mission was to confirm its operation.
In the second OBS (OBS2), we have improved its practicality by constructing the housing with robust black alumite and introducing an echange function of the optical fiber sensors. As a result, we were able to demonstrate that bacteria (living bacteria) can be measured over a wide measurement range of 1,000 cells/mL to 200 million cells/mL. We will continue this demonstration work while expanding the target bacterial species.

OBS Unit 3 (OBS3) will have a smooth curve in the housing by using plastic housing, while advancing the realization of a low price and setting an outlook for commercialization.
