<h2>Main Project - Infector Detector</h2> Infector Detector is a system that will detect the presence of biofilm infections on urinary catheters by reporting on the presence of AHL, a signalling molecule used by E.<i>coli</i>. The system is able to detect very small concentrations of AHL, and outputs a fluorescent protein as a result.

<h2>Sub Project - Cell by Date</h2> Cell by Date will tell you when meat has been out of the fridge for too long. It produces fluorescent protein when it is found in an ambient temperature above a threshold of 10&deg;C. The fluorescent protein accumulates over time, and eventually becomes visible to the naked eye once the system has been exposed to high temperatures for enough time.

Main Project - Infector Detector

Infector Detector is a system that will detect the presence of biofilm infections on urinary catheters by reporting on the presence of AHL, a signalling molecule used by E.coli, and output a fluorescent protein as a result. (more...)

Sub Project - Cell by Date

Cell by Date will report when beef has been out of the fridge for too long. It produces fluorescent proteins at ambient temperatures above 8°C. (more...)
