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°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. | ||
