PAGE Technologies develops low-cost, printed sensor arrays for real-time, automated environmental and nutrient monitoring in agriculture, water, and industrial sectors, aiming to improve sustainability through precise, affordable data.
PAGE Technologies, short for Printed AGricultural and Environmental Technologies, is an environmental sensing company that develops low-cost, automated chemical monitoring platforms. The company utilizes scalable printing techniques—similar to a newspaper printing press—to manufacture solid-state sensor arrays on plastic substrates. These biosensor cards, which measure parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, and specific nutrient concentrations like nitrate, potassium, and calcium, are designed for both handheld spot-checks and continuous, automated monitoring via field-installed autosamplers. By significantly reducing manufacturing costs compared to traditional spectroscopic laboratory analysis, the company provides real-time, actionable environmental data that allows users to operate more sustainably.
This technology is designed to help farmers, industrial operators, and municipalities manage resources by optimizing nutrient application and monitoring water quality in real-time. By enabling precise measurement of chemical inputs, PAGE helps stakeholders reduce fertilizer waste, lower operational costs, and mitigate pollution runoff, supporting more profitable and climate-resilient operations. The company, which was founded in 2023 and is based in Boulder, Colorado, has received support from various accelerators and grant programs, including the National Science Foundation’s ASCEND Engine and the Environmental Protection Agency, to advance its field-testing and commercialization efforts.
