''Cellock Holmes'' is devised based upon a SynBio approach comprised of a '''two-dimensional biosensor and a measurement device'''. The two-dimensional biosensor is designed to recognize quorum sensing molecules secreted by the pathogen cells and to generate a distinct fluorescence signal, while the measurement device is designed to recognize and analyse the produced signal. | ''Cellock Holmes'' is devised based upon a SynBio approach comprised of a '''two-dimensional biosensor and a measurement device'''.

- | Our '''sensor cells are immobilized in agar chips'''. To make the chips, we mix the sensing cells, also known as ''Cellocks'', with liquid LB agar. In the course of our project, we designed a casting mold specifically for the production of our agar chips. When the agar has cooled down, the chips are cut out of the mold and ready to use .
