Hardware
Overview
In addition to encouraging teams to work with DNA parts and build biological devices in the lab, iGEM also encourages other types of technical solutions for synthetic biology. This can include physical devices (hardware) related to robotic assembly, microfluidics, low-cost measurement devices, to name a few examples. There are many exciting opportunities for hardware innovation in synthetic biology.
Introduction Hi. We are Team HONGKONG-JSS, and we are working on a convenient device that detects heavy metals. Heavy metal contamination occurs in Hong Kong's tap water, Chinese medicines, seafood, and more. Heavy metals can cause damage to the brain, lungs, and kidneys. Our team aims to create a simple and low-cost device for detecting the presence of our target heavy metals.
