Our research showed that the overwhelming majority of biosensors fit into a specific <b>design pattern</b>: a 'detector' module, which interacts with the target of choice; a 'processing' module, which does something to a signal (e.g. amplification); and a 'reporter' module, which converts the genetic signal into something which can be perceived by the user or a machine (e.g. a colourmetric output or a change in pH). By <b>making biosensor designs modular</b> in this way, the development of future biosensors can directly benefit from previous designs. This is possible because the processing and reporter modules of a previous design could be connected to a new detector module, hence creating a new biosensor without re-designing new genetic circuit components.<br /> | Our research showed that the overwhelming majority of biosensors fit into a specific <b>design pattern</b>: a 'detector' module, which interacts with the target of choice; a 'processing' module, which does something to a signal (e.g. amplification); and a 'reporter' module, which converts the genetic signal into something which can be perceived by the user or a machine (e.g. a colourmetric output or a change in pH).

Newcastle iGEM 2017 Team Presents...A New Era of Biosensors |
|
Biosensors......have applications in many aspects of life; from agriculture (testing for pesticides/herbicides) to medicine (diagnostic tests), and everything in between. Unfortunately, biosensor development can be far from simple. Below are some of the major issues identified during this project. |
