Abstract
The protection of water resources and the secure delivery of clean water to consumers are important tasks for humans in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to have novel analytical systems to control water quality. Here we give a review on the performance of the AWACSS (Automated Water Analyser Computer Supported System) biosensor and describe the results obtained during a field test and for a validation with drinking water.
