SensAr: An arsenic biosensor for drinking water
Based on synthetic biology tools, a biosensor was designed to be specific for arsenic detection in water. It was designed to be cheap and easy to use (image based instructions will be enough). The device has a modular design which enables us to detect other water pollutants, with minor genetic modif...
