Utah USTAR Professor's Invention Approved by NASA for Long-Term Use Aboard ISSSalt Lake City UT (SPX) May 18, 2011 After more than 12 months of testing aboard the International Space Station (ISS), an experimental water quality monitoring kit based on technology developed by USTAR professor Marc D. Porter and University of Utah researcher Lorraine M. Siperko was recently certified as operational hardware by NASA. The kit, called the Colorimetric Water Quality Monitoring Kit (CWQMK), uses Colorimetric Solid Phase Extraction (CSPE) technology to monitor the biocides molecular iodine and ionic silver in the potab ... read more |
