Team:UChile Biotec/Applied Design

Although our method for detecting the red tide was interesting and delivered positive results, it did not cover the problem in a real way . The biggest problem was the people who interacted directly with the products contaminated with toxins. In this case, the entities in charge of the inspection of the shellﬁsh and the ﬁshermen of the south of our country. Because of this, we decided that it was necessary to devise a system that allowed us to take our project to our ﬁnal users, leaving the laboratory environment and bringing science to people in a simple way by means of a practical design.
