LIQWIZ

Liqwiz is a startup founded in 2015 by two engineers looking for a way to detect pesticides and contaminants in drinks and food products, right at a grocery store or at home. The existing methods of analysis either required complicated and expensive lab equipment or were simply unreliable... Our solution is a patent-pending system for household and small lab/educational optical monitoring and analysis of water and liquids. The system utilizes the physical phenomena of fluorescence and absorption... While looking for a solution, we conducted initial market research and realized that there was an untapped market for a contaminant detecting consumer device. We also came to the conclusion that while all basic technologies were available, a new engineering approach was needed to utilize them for developing a consumer product.
