Interview to Matteo Salina and Fabio Giavazzi about Proxentia, the startup from Milan. The two researchers describe how their idea was born. The project started through a research project among University of Milan. The result of it was a new technology able to detect molecules in aqueous solvents. Then it was designed a platform able to detect contaminants into agri-food products. Their prototype uses a smartphone as an optical reader and makes use of disposable cartridges where the sample to analyze has to be inserted.
