A paper based microfluidics device for E.coli detection from water

This project will result in the development of a simple, reliable, and rapid system for detecting E. coli bacteria in water for public health and environmental monitoring. We will use paper-based microfluidics fabricated by common laser-jet printing techniques. When E. coli is detected by the device, a color change becomes visible and can be quantified to estimate the bacteria count in water. The test will be commercialized for remote water testing applications.
