Developing the biosensor

One part of our project was developing a cheap and user friendly way of detecting chlorinated solvents, focusing specifically on DCM. The engineering design team worked very closely with the biochemistry team to ensure that the construction of the biosensor went ahead as quickly and efficiently as possible. This involved characterising a previously unknown genetic circuit and then optimising the parameters that we had some form of control over to get the fastest visible response. On top of this, there is a link below to the specifics of the wet lab work and there is also a section on the physical realisation of our product.
