BIT's Measurement

 

 

Ok , Now we have contributed a new sensor , put forward a concept of controlled amplifier and are working on optimizing it .But we think this is just a start ,for we can then use this kind of idea to detect nearly all kinds of antibiotics in the future and we are still trying our best to do so .

a	Antibiotics around the globe

 

Q:So ,you have already pur forward a new sensor and a controlled amplifier ，that's great but I saw a micro chip on your wiki , I wonder what is it used for .

A: well ,that 's it ! first ,have a look at the picture below :

This first picture shows that we can hardly see any differences between our samples in normal conditions , the second picture is what we see under UV light , looking through a narrowband filter ,we can get the 3rd picture .

    but don't you think that 's so hard to detect milk using this kind of method as narrowband filter and UV exiting light are hard to find out of the lab ?

    the chip ,together with a electronic device , is a perfect solution to this problem . Just inject the milk and engineering bacteria into the chip ,and put the chip into the electronic device ,wait for some time ,then we can directly read the data on the screen .

 

Q: Oh I see , it is just a small Fluorescence microplate reader ， right？

A:Well ,many people have asked this question . On the one hand , it uses the lightpath similiar to the Fluorescence microplate reader, but on the other hand , it is not just a detector , it is a new concept ,not only for BIT ,but for the whole iGEM.

Q:That sounds interesting ,so what the concept is ? I wonder how can it help iGEM.
