Biosafety

This page is awaiting synthesis.

DRAFT: The Aachen team is committed to consider all aspects of the entire project, including biosafety. The living cells inside the measurement device are ensured to be killed by irradiation with strong UV light. In this way neither the sampled pathogens nor the genetically modified sensor cells can escape our biosensor unit.

For our project two biosafety aspects have to be consider. On the one hand we are using E.coli as genetically modified organism and on the other ahnd we are detecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa a human pathogen. In general we developed and designed the measurenment device as closed system for a better safety.
