When a drop of water lands on the paper, a reaction occurs: the enzyme "oxidizes" the glucose, generating an electric current. These cells do not use rare metals (or any metals at all). They are flexible, disposable and recyclable. The company also produces two finished products: BeFC TAG - an intelligent logistics tag for multi-factor logistics and BeFC PATCH - a smart medical patch for remote, real-time patient monitoring.
