Entrepreneurial Leads: Cheng Ting, PhD Student
Team members: Siham Ouasti, Wu Yuanyuan, Yuan Xintong

Project description: The Biopen device consists of the integration of a CMOS sensor with immobilised glowing bioreporter bacteria within a calcium alginate matrix, which together can detect a variety of toxic chemicals. The type of chemical detected depends on the chosen genetically engineered bioreporter utilised. The light signal produced is proportional to the target analyte concentration.
