EAGER: Collaborative Research: Integration of the Capillary Waveguide Biosensor (CWB) with the Environmental Sample Processor (ESP): Detection of microorga

π吗?我们请求EAGER资助，将重点放在使用现场收集的材料验证耦合CWB-ESP仪器上。这不仅会允许PI吗？虽然这是为了克服审稿人的担忧，但对于准备常规现场部署CWB-ESP系统来说，这是向前迈出的重要一步。主要目标包括：1：将CWB与ESP耦合：微流控块（MFB）接口2：选择和优化杂交和检测协议3：使用模型系统在现场收集的样品中检测目标更广泛的影响提出的ESP集成CWB可能是对特定微生物群落的无人参与，长期研究的重大进展，具有许多潜在的应用，超出生态研究。在这项研究的过程中，研究生、本科生和高中生将直接参与并接受系统设计和分析基础知识的培训。π吗?我们打算通过将他们的研究想法和工作融入现有的教育项目，吸引不同的学生和得不到充分服务的少数民族。

The PI?s request EAGER funding to focus on validation of the coupled CWB-ESP instrument using field collected materials. This will not only allow the PI?s to overcome reviewer concerns, but will be a major step forward in preparing the CWB-ESP system for routine field deployment.. The main objectives include:1: Coupling the CWB to the ESP: the Microfluidic Block (MFB) interface2: Select and optimize hybridization and detection protocols3: Detection of targets in field-collected samples using model systemsBroader ImpactsThe proposed ESP-integrated CWB is potentially a major advance toward unattended, long term study of specific populations of the microbial community, with numerous potential applications beyond ecological research. During the course of this research, graduate, undergraduate and high school students will be involved directly and trained in the fundamentals of design and analysis of systems. The PI?s intend to engage diverse students and underserved minorities, by incorporating their research ideas and work into existing educational programs.
