== Team Sandbox 2019 2018 ==
Team Sandbox is a team competing in Sensus 2018, its university is the TU Eindhoven. For Sensus 2018, Team Sandbox 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/264/Team-Results-Document---AUC.pdf via this link]
== Physical Transduction ==
UV light (280 nm) was immited on a quartz cuvette. The light that is not absorbed passes through an optical filter (bandpass filter with center wavelength 300 nm) which then falls on a sicilone detector.
== Cartridge ==
To plasma spiked with vancomycin, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is added. The mixture is then centrifuged at 15000 rpm for 3 mins to separated proteins from plasma. Then, the supernatant is seperated from the precipitated proteins, and diluted to 1:10 volume ratio.
