REAL TIME WATER QUALITY BIOMONITORING
Living organisms at the heart of environmental monitoring.
molluSCAN-eye® technology was born in 2006 in the laboratories of the CNRS and the University of Bordeaux, the result of two decades of marine research. It is based on a unique principle: using mollusks as living sentinels to measure the effects of pollution on aquatic environments in real time, 24/7.
Today, the company puts this innovation at the service of industrial companies, local authorities and institutions committed to environmental monitoring and the sustainable management of aquatic resources.

biomonitoring and environmental protection molluSCAN-eye®
The importance of protecting the marine environment is no longer in question.
Rapidly detecting chemical pollution, 24/7, is essential to reduce our impact, our environmental footprint and to protect the biodiversity of the oceans. To do this, carrying out conventional chemical analyses continuously is not feasible due to its complexity and considerable cost.
There are too many chemicals out there, too many cocktail effects, too many problems with low concentrations… To remedy this, the solution is to move away from searching for products and towards the effects on the aquatic environment and living organisms.
The question is no longer “What is in the water?” but “Is there anything toxic in the water?”
The molluSCAN-eye® solution answers this need.

THE molluSCAN-eye® SOLUTION
Connected mollusks
to monitor water quality
molluSCAN-eye® IS A REAL TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH.
Using oysters, mussels or scallops, our eco-responsible, intuitive and educational solution gives industrial companies and institutions the ability to monitor the impact of their activities on the aquatic environment 24/7. Through the well-being and behavior of these living, connected animals on the monitored site, a daily health assessment of the aquatic environment’s quality is produced, with no on-site maintenance.
A GROUP OF HEALTHY ANIMALS LIVES IN A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT.
In the form of colorful emoticons, trend curves and longitudinal profiles, our clients and partners examine the daily health of the environment they wish to monitor. These measurements can inform us if there is “something” disrupting the behavior, growth or biological rhythms of these bivalve mollusks.
Our technology quickly detects silent, insidious pollution that cannot be seen, before it spreads and escalates into serious, very costly pollution.
IF THE QUALITY OF THE WATER IS AFFECTED, THE ANIMALS’ BEHAVIOR WILL BE MODIFIED AS WELL AND SO, THE ALERT GIVEN!
IF THE QUALITY OF THE WATER IS AFFECTED, THE ANIMALS’ BEHAVIOR WILL BE MODIFIED AS WELL AND SO, THE ALERT GIVEN!

From the North Pole to the tropics molluSCAN-eye®
The molluSCAN-eye® solution is intended for all industrial companies wishing to evaluate and control their impact on the aquatic environment (ports, oil platforms, refineries, construction, offshore wind farms, wastewater treatment plants, chemical industries, etc.) as well as for all institutions in charge of managing natural areas or ports.
It represents the possibility for improved monitoring of aquatic environments because it is easy to set up, inexpensive compared to chemical analyses and does not require human intervention once deployed on site.
Moreover, thanks to the easily understandable information and results available on the computer and smartphone, molluSCAN-eye® is particularly effective for communicating with stakeholders and the public, all over the world!
