Test Kit Assessment

To begin designing and experimenting with a new device for E. coli detection, the WLC iGEM team wanted to test already marketed water test kits. Using both laboratory strain and wild type E. coli, the WLC iGEM team evaluated the reliability of six test kits while assessing other features of the kits. We found that while the kits were relatively accurate, they could not detect lab strain E. coli, and most required 48 hours for results. Below is a table summarizing our findings:
