Automated real-time pathogen detection unit demonstration

The intern will demonstrate the automated real time pathogen detection unit, Kraken, in close to field conditions. The unit will be installed in a controlled environment in order to develop and validate the control system operations of the unit. The unit will be assembled, installed, electrically connected and attached to the fluid source that can be used to mimic green house and industrial food processing operations. The unit will be put through a range of operating conditions, including variable sampling rate, regular cartridge changes with different number of sensors, and different concentration, sampling and cleaning regimes. Once validated in the controlled setup the unit may be moved to a green-house like space to further test the unit in the environment more closely matching the one that will be encountered in the field.
