Mantis
Makes diseases come to light
This is why iGEM Wageningen UR 2017 created Mantis: a Modular ANtigen-based Test for Infectious diseaseS. Mantis is a point-of-care diagnostic test, that can be used in the field and requires minimal training and equipment. The whole-cell biosensor is robust, can be produced locally and can be adapted to any new situation. It binds and detects pathogens directly and produces a clear fluorescent signal. This is measured in our 3D-printed device, which includes GPS and data storage for convenient monitoring of the epidemic. Explore our wiki to learn more!
