IIT Guwahati develops 'E-Eye' portable device for rapid toxin detection

Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed 'E-Eye,' a portable optical sensing device for rapid detection of toxic substances. The technology can identify contaminants such as heavy metals and other toxicants in environmental, biological and food samples. Its point-of-care design enables quick testing without the need for conventional laboratory infrastructure, making it suitable for fieldwork in remote areas and on-site monitoring. The device uses a compact optical sensor and data-processing module to deliver results in minutes, potentially reducing sampling time and laboratory load. Developers hope E-Eye will strengthen real-time monitoring of water and food safety, enabling earlier interventions and improved public health decisions for communities.
  • E-Eye detects heavy metals and other toxins in multiple sample types
  • Portable, point-of-care design eliminates need for full lab setup
  • Produces results within minutes using a compact sensor and processor
