<p>Our product is a sensor for a variety of oil and gas related contaminants in water.  The system is rapid and portable, allowing for monitoring of toxins much more quickly and easily than present systems allow.  Our sensor utiliizes a strain of soil bacteria which has been synthetically designed to react to toxins in the environment by producing enzymes capable of changing compounds so that they can be detected electrochemically.  Detection of electroactive chemicals is quantitative and software analysis of the results permits the user to measure the amount of toxin using a simple computer, USB, WiFi, or GPS based interface.</p>
+
</script>
-
<p>We have produced a microbial strain that is able to detect three relevant oil sands toxins: naphthenic acids, carbazole, and dibenzothiophene. Further tests have shown that this strain does not respond to an innocuous compound with structural similarity to naphthenic acid or to a general stress inducing compound. We have demonstrated the output of the detector as being able to alter specific compounds so that they may be detected electrochemically. Furthermore we are working to demonstrate that we can detect simultaneously active output signals, where more than one compound can be detected at a time. We currently have a proof-of-concept technology for detecting oil sands toxins.</p>
+
</head>
-
<p>As we are refining the techniques to optimally detect toxins with the microbial strain, we will be developing a prototype of the system that will be sold commercially and will be ultimately be used by clients for field tests. On this front we are working closely with manufacturers to design our final product.</p>

FREDsense Technologies

We are building better biosensors.

FREDsense has developed a novel system for quantitative, real-time detection of various toxins in any sample. We use a biosensor with an electrochemical output to create a system that is portable, fast, and unlike anything else in the market

See how we're different. >

Toxic Chemicals Are Bad.

Detecting toxic compounds in our environment is an ongoing struggle that we face, whether the underlying issue is a public health or an environmental protection concern. The biosensing market worldwide is already an $8.9 billion market and is expected to grow to $18.9 billion by 2018. Alberta, Canada is faced with a specific challenge; development of petroleum related industries, specifically the oil sands, has led to large volumes of contaminated water that must be remediated before release into the natural ecosystem. However, current methods of testing are either too slow, labour intensive or do not accurately report the relative toxicity. Thus, the 2013 iGEM Calgary Entrepreneurial team is building a better biosensor based system to report on the general toxicity present.

Who Are We?

We are FREDsense, an early venture start-up company focused on designing and implementing novel biosensor systems for oil sands applications. Our goal is to commercialize a product that was initially started as an iGEM project in 2012.

What Do We Have?

Our toxin biosensor system is designed to be rapid, on-site, and require little to no sample prep, providing a distinct advantage against competing technologies presently available to oil sands service companies.

Are We Needed?

With growing regulatory bodies increasing the financial contribution to analytical based monitoring instrumentation, there is an emerging market surrounding specific toxin sensing for oil sands applications.
