Congratulations! Our team member, Krishna Iyer, and his group won 1st place in the 2014 Fourth Year Design Symposium Poster Award.
Sierra is the next generation biosensor.
Our innovative sensor combines fibre optics and LEDs with gold nanoparticles to create a novel biosensor. Our sensor uses the interaction of light around nanoparticles to detect the concentration of certain molecules in a solution. Unlike today’s expensive biosensors, our design offers a versatile product with rapid performance that anyone can use anywhere. It has huge commercial potential in medical diagnostics, drug discovery, and environmental monitoring.
Thank you to our design symposium poster award sponsor, Intlvac.
