Brief Description
Picoyune replaces complex equipment with reliable, portable, and easy to use devices.
Their first target? Mercury. The company has developed a miniaturized, low-cost mercury sensor and applying it to personal exposure monitoring. The portable device is a good fit for testing in the field as there is no need for heavy lab equipment or carrier gas. It is also a practical mercury monitor for vulnerable artisanal/small-scale gold mining communities.
