Frogbox. This device uses cartridges containing transgenic tadpoles for continuous-flow monitoring of wastewater. Tadpoles of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) have been genetically modified to fluoresce in the presence of certain pollutants. Tadpoles exposed to endocrine disruptors will glow green,providing a method of detecting and quantifying the presence of these pollutants | |
