== DeTectUs 2018 ==

DTectUs is a team competing in Sensus 2018, its university is the Technical University of Denmark. For Sensus 2018, DeTectUs investigated the possibilities for creating a biosensor which is able to measure the concentration of [[Vancomycin]]. The full TRD can be found [https://digital.sensus.org/storage/256/Team-Results-Document---DeTectUs.pdf via this link]

== Method ==

Vancocymin binds to a receptor on a metal surface. This creates an electrical signal.

==Molecular Recognition ==

Chemical bonding between the receptor and the analyte.

== Physical Transduction ==

There is a measurable change in electrical output when there is vancomyocin bound and when there is not

== Cartridge ==
The sample is pipetted onto the cartridge, where the antibodies are bound

== Reader Instrument ==

small LCD screen

== Prizes==
None
