We use synthetic biology to develop customized living sensors
Customized Biosensor Strains
Our current sensing capabilities include biosensor strains specific to arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, phosphorus, and other common contaminants. Using our synthetic biology expertise, we can engineer new strains for many applications from environmental contamination to industrial process optimization.
Contact us for more information.
Sensor Capabilities under Development:
Monoclonal antibodies and other proteins for pharmaceutical manufacturing
PFAS and other emerging contaminants
Pesticides
In-line bacteria detection (e.g. contaminating E. coli in ocean water)
Benefits of our Approach:
In-line, quantitative data: actionable results lead to improved process control
Autonomous data collection: reduce labor costs and increase sampling frequency
Customizable: we can develop sensors for new analytes to meet your needs
Multiplexed: track many contaminants simultaneously
Partner with us: We are eager to hear from end-users with unique and unmet sensing needs. We can build new strains for almost any application from monitoring water for toxic contaminants to optimizing processes such as fermentation or anaerobic digestion. We are working with a broad range of industries, including water quality, brewing, agriculture, and wastewater treatment to improve sensing and optimize the performance of a diverse set of operations.
Contact us with your sensing needs, and we will work with you to develop a tailored biosensor.
