Hosted at ESA BIC Harwell, UK startup Mirico develop analytical instruments for trace gas analysis that deliver laboratory standard performance in a highly compact, field deployable unit. The technology used is a spin-off from space research focused on developing innovative spectroscopic techniques for Earth observation and planetary landers at STFC's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Space division. Here Mirico is measuring atmospheric pollutants in a remote environment.
Das Start-up Mirico, das im ESA BIC Harwell in Großbritannien betreut wird, entwickelt Analyseinstrumente zur Gasanalyse im Laborstandard in einer extrem kompakten Einheit für den Feldeinsatz. Die verwendete Technologie ist ein direkter Ableger aus der Raumfahrtforschung und nutzt die spektroskopischen Techniken für die Erdbeobachtung und planetare Landemodule, die ursprünglich von der Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Space Division, von STFC, entwickelt wurden. Hier misst Mirico Umweltgifte in einer belasteten Gegend.
