Published purpose

We will design and build a novel biosensor for real-time toxicity monitoring in remote locations. The sensing principle will be based on a Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). The biosensor is intended as an inexpensive, qualitative, rapid toxicity warning system capable of surviving outdoors for at least a year without maintenance and without an external energy source.
