Cellock Holmes - A Case of Identity

Welcome to the iGEM Aachen 2014 Wiki!

Until now, an ideal method to detect pathogenic bacteria is still elusive. The existing techniques require expensive equipment, trained personnel or labourious routines.

We, the iGEM team Aachen, have developed a '''novel biosensor system''' called ''Cellock Holmes'' that '''detects bacteria on solid surfaces''' using a low-cost, rapid and portable technique.

In this project, we demonstrate a unique way of combining '''Open Source biology, software and hardware'''.

Achievements

The whole project was awarded Best Measurement Project and won the track.
Our image analysis software Measurarty was awarded Best Supporting Software in the overgrad section.
Our work on biosafety was rewarded with the Safety Commendation special award.
We fulfilled all Bronze and Silver criteria and won a Gold Medal.

-Current techniques for pathogen detection have many disadvantages as they require expensive equipment, trained personnel or labourious routines.
-To overcome the drawbacks of these techniques, the iGEM team Aachen 2014 developed a novel biosensor system called ''Cellock Holmes'' that is rapid, inexpensive and mobile.
-Our project represents a unique way of combining Open Source biology, software and hardware.
-<!-- As a proof-of concept for''Cellock Holmes'', we successfully detected the pathogen ''Pseudomonas aeruginosa''. Through the use of our special genetic construct we could significantly enhance the detection speed as compared to a traditional biosensor.
-All design choices were made in accordance to the "Open Source" principle, resulting a fast, mobile and inexpensive biosensor. Our technology is an ideal fit for low-budget institutions such as schools and community labs as well as the biohacking scene.-->
