Current, a Chicago, IL, USA, non-profit
"Current, a Chicago, IL, USA, non-profit has been using the Proteus since May 2019 for faecal coliform monitoring in the three branches of the Chicago River, as part of the H2NOW Chicago project. We recognise that this is the first real-time microbial monitoring project of its kind and scope anywhere in the USA, and it represents a massive step-change in the ability to observe river water quality dynamics. The Proteus faecal coliform data is verified with lab tests to ensure accuracy. The Proteus Instruments team has provided continuous support on all levels, from technology installation to calibration and data visualization. The next step of the project is expected to begin in Spring 2020, when the public will be able to view microbial water quality in real-time via the project's online platform. H2NOW joins 19 different partners from around the world, with the Proteus technology at the heart of this effort."
