MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641080701 A) filed by Narsimha Reddy Engineering College Nrcm on June 30, 2026, for Rapid Water Quality Detection Kit With Color-Based Contamination Indicator.
Inventors include J Kruparani; Ch Ramya; K Sireesha; B Rajesh; R Satyavati; P Chalapathi Rao; and Dr. Haritha Kiranmai.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: A rapid water quality detection kit comprises a rigid hydrophobic base substrate (110) supporting a reaction chamber layer (120) containing microencapsulated reagent matrices (130). Each chamber is sealed with a semi-permeable membrane (140) and separated by hydrophobic barrier ribs (150). Upon immersion in a water sample, microcapsules rupture, releasing colorimetric reagents that react with contaminants to produce visible chromatic changes. An integrated chromatic calibration panel (160) enables direct visual interpretation. A transparent protective cover (170) and desiccant cartridge (180) enhance durability and shelf stability. The invention provides rapid, instrument-free, structurally isolated, and stabilized contamination detection.
