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. While using Pseudomonas we have the problem of non-proliferation. For E.coli we have to look after the non-release of genetically modified organisms. In general we developed and designed the measurenment device as closed system for a better safety handling. In this way neither the sampled pathogens nor the genetically modified sensor cells can escape out of our biosensor unit. Also the electronic components are inaccessible so that no one could get an electric shock. For the detection we are using one way sampling and sensor chips which can be disposed after autoclaving or irradate them with a strong UV light. | For our project two biosafety aspects have to be consider.
