项目摘要

Norwell Dairy Systems is a company specializing in development and sale of products and solutions for the**dairy industry. In particular, they focus on milking technologies, milk coolers (with advanced temperature**monitoring), and optimization of milking processes. Their products and services can be found throughout**Ontario. Since milking is a complex process, involving a careful regiment of specific processing conditions,**accurate real-time monitoring is essential. Norwell Dairy Systems has had success in monitoring and**maintaining physical conditions of milk, e.g., temperature, however, they require further development to apply**their technologies in monitoring chemical conditions of milk, e.g., presence and amount of antibiotics.**Currently available technologies rely on cumbersome chemical processing units and time-intensive reagent**labelling. Real-time monitoring of the chemical conditions of milk is desired by current and potential**customers of Norwell Dairy Systems. In particular, it is desired to detect the presence and quantity of**antibiotics, as shipping milk containing such contaminants can result in severe economic/licensure losses for**dairy farmers. To solve this problem, Norwell Dairy Systems and the Collier Research Group are partnering to**develop innovative biosensors for milk chemical analyses. The innovative techniques to be developed include**microfluidic actuation, for separation of antibiotic materials, and ultraviolet spectroscopy, for detection and**quantification of antibiotics. These developments will be applied in the Norwell Dairy Systems product line to**greatly expand their customer base.

Norwell Dairy Systems是一家专门为**乳业行业开发和销售产品和解决方案的公司。特别是，他们专注于挤奶技术，牛奶冷却器（具有高级温度**监测）以及对挤奶过程的优化。他们的产品和服务都可以在整个安大略省找到。由于挤奶是一个复杂的过程，涉及特定处理条件的仔细团体，因此**准确的实时监控至关重要。诺威尔乳制品系统在监测和**维持牛奶的物理状况方面取得了成功，例如温度，但是，它们需要进一步的开发才能将其技术应用于监测牛奶的化学条件，例如，抗生素的存在和量。** **当前可用的技术依赖于繁琐的化学加工单元和耗时的试剂**标签。诺威尔乳制品系统的当前和潜在客户需要对牛奶化学状况的实时监测。特别是希望检测**抗生素的存在和数量，因为含有这种污染物的牛奶可能会导致**奶农造成严重的经济/许可损失。为了解决这个问题，诺威尔乳制品系统和Collier Research Group正在合作**开发用于牛奶化学分析的创新生物传感器。要开发的创新技术包括**微流体致动，用于分离抗生素材料和紫外光谱，用于检测和**定量抗生素。这些发展将在诺威尔乳制品系统产品系列中应用，以大大扩展其客户群。
