Optimization of a nanoparticle-based sensor system for E. coli testing

大肠杆菌（E.大肠杆菌）是栖息在人类和其他动物肠道区域的细菌。快速、准确地检测E.需要对大肠杆菌进行检测，以缓解疫情或确定食品或水源的安全性。Genemis Laboratories Inc.（“Genemis”）是一家专门从事微生物水质检测技术和系统的加拿大小公司。该公司的易于使用的试剂盒可用作初步筛选测试，以快速检测水质问题。拟议的应用研究项目将完成Genemis新产品系列中一种新产品的开发，该产品将在一系列浓度范围内检测有害的大肠杆菌。该技术使用生物传感器系统，该系统利用专门定制的纳米颗粒，提供快速和高度选择性的病原体反应。弗莱明学院CAWT的研究人员将协助Genemis完成技术开发和产品优化。该项目的结果将为Genemis提供一种能够可靠和快速检测全球需求的大肠杆菌的新产品。由于这个项目，Genemis将能够推出他们新产品线中的第一款产品，这将为公司带来经济效益。

Escherichia coli (E. coli) are bacterial germs that inhabit the intestinal areas of humans and other animals. Quick and accurate detection of E. coli is needed to mitigate outbreaks or determine the safety of food products or water sources. Genemis Laboratories Inc. ("Genemis") is a small Canadian company that specializes in microbiological water testing techniques and systems. The company's easy-to-use kits can be used as a preliminary screening test to quickly detect water quality issues. The proposed applied research project will finalize the development of a new product in Genemis' new family of products that will sense harmful E.coli bacteria in a range of concentrations. The technology uses a biosensor system that utilizes specifically tailored nanoparticles that deliver a rapid and highly selective pathogen response. Researchers at Fleming College's CAWT will assist Genemis in finalizing the development of the technology and optimizing the product. The results of the project will provide Genemis with a new product able to reliably and rapidly detect E.coli, for which there is a global need. As a result of this project, Genemis will be able to launch the first product in their new line, which will bring economic benefits to the company.
