<h3>Best Hardware Special Prize</h3>

width:4px;
<p>iGEM is about making teams of students making synthetic biology projects. We encourage teams to work with parts and build biological devices in the lab. But we are inclusive and want all teams to work on many other types of problems in synbio. Robotic assembly, microfluidics, low cost equipment and measurement hardware are all areas ripe for innovation in synbio. </p>

<p>We use a 2D printer to print materials onto IDE to modify it. Then we use breadboard to assemble each component and make an entire circuit. The circuit is connected to an iPhone through Bluetooth. We get some blood samples from Sir Run Run Shao Hospital and use them to certify the accuracy of our hardware and enzyme IDE. Everything proves to work fine. </p>

<p>High impact projects with consequences affecting whole humanity should always be discussed with professionals from different scientific backgrounds. To meet this goal we talked to theologists, legal professionals, safety representatives, astrophysicists, and experts in the field of medicine, agriculture, information technology and many more. Check out the professionals who shaped our project!</p>

 +
<p>The first part is a 2-Demension printer consists of three motors and an arduino uno board that can receive a photo and print it on a plat surface with our special ink. The printer’s main control board is based on a windows application named Steroduino which can nearly translate all kinds of photo into an two-dimension array that will be printed on the surface by the motors with the main control board.</p>

<span class="psg_ttl">IDE (interdigital electrode) design</span>
 +
<p>IDE (interdigital electrode) is composed of two interdigital electrodes with two connection tracks, on a insulative substrate. IDE is cheaper than normal electrode and can work with low volumes of sample. The interdigitated configuration typically enhances sensitivity and detection limits.</p>
 +
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em !important;"></br>Taking our 2D-printer’s precision into consideration, we design our first generation of IDE (see Fig,1). The black part is 6×interdigital working electrodes, the green part is counter electrode and the red part is reference electrode. We plan to use Au as electrode material and PET as electrode base.</br></p>

 +
<h5>Fig. 1    First generation of IDE</h5>
 +
<p></br>To make it easier to adjust hardware for the above IDE and to print enzyme solution, we modify our IDE and create the second generation of IDE (see Fig.2). We design thicker working electrode and electrical contact, working electrode reaching the thickness of 0.44mm. And 0.48mm gap is left to avoid short circuit. And we separate each pair of interdigital electrode, following the principle of IDE design.</p>

<span class="psg_ttl">Integration</span>
 +
<p>To accurately describe the results of protein production, simplify user operations and save time, we developed a complete system consisting of two parts. That is converter and amplifier, reporter. </p>
 +
 +
 +
 +
<p>We connect a Transimpedance Amplifiers together with a Bluetooth module an expansion on arduino nano board.</p>

 +
<p></br>We printed the ink containing modified enzymes on IDE. IDE’s output ports are connected to the in-port of the second part with a very low electronic current which can accordingly form a voltage big enough that is sufficient to be detected by our detector.

Hardware
HARDWARE  
ABSTRACT  

We use a 2D printer to print materials onto IDE to modify it. Then we use breadboard to assemble each component and make an entire circuit. The circuit is connected to an iPhone through Bluetooth. We get some blood samples from Sir Run Run Shao Hospital and use them to certify the accuracy of our hardware and enzyme IDE. Everything proves to work fine.



2D printer

The first part is a 2-Demension printer consists of three motors and an arduino uno board that can receive a photo and print it on a plat surface with our special ink. The printer’s main control board is based on a windows application named Steroduino which can nearly translate all kinds of photo into an two-dimension array that will be printed on the surface by the motors with the main control board.

IDE (interdigital electrode) design

IDE (interdigital electrode) is composed of two interdigital electrodes with two connection tracks, on a insulative substrate. IDE is cheaper than normal electrode and can work with low volumes of sample. The interdigitated configuration typically enhances sensitivity and detection limits.


Taking our 2D-printer’s precision into consideration, we design our first generation of IDE (see Fig,1). The black part is 6×interdigital working electrodes, the green part is counter electrode and the red part is reference electrode. We plan to use Au as electrode material and PET as electrode base.

Fig. 1 First generation of IDE


To make it easier to adjust hardware for the above IDE and to print enzyme solution, we modify our IDE and create the second generation of IDE (see Fig.2). We design thicker working electrode and electrical contact, working electrode reaching the thickness of 0.44mm. And 0.48mm gap is left to avoid short circuit. And we separate each pair of interdigital electrode, following the principle of IDE design.

Integration

To accurately describe the results of protein production, simplify user operations and save time, we developed a complete system consisting of two parts. That is converter and amplifier, reporter.

We connect a Transimpedance Amplifiers together with a Bluetooth module an expansion on arduino nano board.


We printed the ink containing modified enzymes on IDE. IDE’s output ports are connected to the in-port of the second part with a very low electronic current which can accordingly form a voltage big enough that is sufficient to be detected by our detector. The detector is just an arduino nano board with an blueteeth board which, we use analog pin to detect the voltage and using blueteeth board to transfer the data to mobile phone running the WeChat mini-program which can show the data it received by blueteeth. In last part the reporter receives the voltage and transfer them with our algorithm into an actual current value, and then sends processed user-readable results to the applets on the user’s mobile phone. This app is developed in the WeChat Platform, here are some screen shoots in the app.


The hardware implementation not only solves the need to report wet experiment results, but also is much more user friendly, especially for non-professionals.


In order to verify the stability and accuracy, we conducted dozens of tests in the hospital using real blood samples and contacted the experts to evaluate the hardware.
