Daphnia otherwise known as water fleas are used in water quality testing, to detect contamination with hazardous compounds. The DaphniaToximeter II is in use in water testing facilities around Germany. | Daphnia otherwise known as water fleas are used in water quality testing, to detect contamination with hazardous compounds.

Daphnia are used a biological sensor, as a living sensor within a machine, however we could also monitor the health of naturally occuring Daphnia in bodies of water to gauge the health of a river or lake. | Daphnia are used a biological sensor, as a living sensor within a machine, however we could also monitor the health of naturally occuring Daphnia in bodies of water to gauge the health of a river or lake. | ||
