Project: Automatized instrument for fast, reliable, and simple on-site detection of Legionella contaminations
We will develop a fully automated instrument capable of reliably detecting and counting bacteria such as Legionella in drinking water within one hour. This will reduce the time-to-result by two orders of magnitude compared to standard plating techniques available today. The instrument works with a consumable microfluidic cartridge on which the sample handling, separation, purification, and counting is performed. The system will later be expanded to detect other pathogens.
