MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541114086 A) filed by Sethu Institute Of Technology, Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 20, 2025, for 'fabrication of a smart extractor system for agarose extraction from seaweed.'

Inventor(s) include S. M. Seeni Mohamed Aliar Maraikkayar; Mariaamalraj Samykannu; Tanisha Sabba; Alagumariyammal A; and Preethi M.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention relates to the fabrication of a smart extractor system for agarose extraction from seaweed. It typically includes a system body (1), an extraction chamber (2), a filtration chamber (3), a heating coil (4), a mechanical stirrer (5), an iotenabled temperature sensor (6), an iot-enabled ph sensor (7), an iot-enabled pressure sensor (8), an automated control valves (9), an automated mesh (10), a microcontroller-based iot control panel (11), a digital interface (12). This invention main advantage is that it combines all complex agarose extraction stages into a single, automated, loT-monitored. and energy-efficient unit suitable for low-cost, decentralized production. This invention is primarily applied in the decentralized, highquality production of agarose and other marine polysaccharides for the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food, and molecular biology industries. Shows the block diagram of the fabrication of a smart extractor system for agarose extraction from seaweed."
