Developing a real-time bacteria detection platform using LAMP assisted bioluminescence assay

Water contamination poses a serious risk to health and economic development in Canada and around the world. The ability to inexpensively and quickly detect the pathogen contamination in water will mitigate the risks associated with water contamination. The LAMP-based biosensor described in this proposal will be able to provide these capabilities, and enable fast and accurate pathogen detection in water in all settings. Ecoli Sense Ltd, a pathogen sensor development company, is looking to develop this capability as part of its pathogen detection device lineup.
