- | "What is living in on the table in front of you?" seems to be an easy question to answer: microoganisms. However, ''which'' microorganisms are living on the table in front of you is not such a trivial question anymore, especially in environments where you only want to have a non-pathogenic microflora, or no microorganisms at all, such as lab spaces or health care institutions. Our project ''Cellock Holmes'' tries to solve this case of identy. | + | "What is living in on the table in front of you?" seems to be an easy question to answer: microoganisms.

''Cellock Holmes'' encompasses our 2D biosensing technology with which we want to enable detection of bacteria on solid surfaces. When developing ''Cellock'' Holmes, a main goal was to overcome shortcomings of excisting detection methods such as high cost, heavy and sensitive equipment, complicated handling and long detection times. Instead of inventing a mainly fancy concept for detecting bacteria, we wanted to create a biosensor that is | ''Cellock Holmes'' encompasses our 2D biosensing technology with which we want to enable detection of bacteria on solid surfaces.
