== 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]
For Sensus 2019== Method == Spectrophotometry (Light absorbtion). Vanomycin has the property that it absorbs photons of a specific wavelength, Team Sandbox investigated the possibilities strength of the absorbtion is the dependant on the concentration. By looking at the transmission for creating a biosensor which is able to measure specific wavelenght of light the concentration of adalimumabVanomycin can be determined. ==Molecular Recognition == The detection method is based on the absorbance properties that vancomycin possesses.
== Method ==
== 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.
