Portable Fluorescence Sensor for Lyme Disease Antibody Detection
Group 6 Spring 2022

Our Project

There are currently a few fluorescence sensor devices on the market, but they are bulky and unable to be carried around easily. Being able to take a fluorescence detection machine on the go will make data analysis of samples faster and easier without having to get back to the lab This portability makes our device useful for medical personnel to test patients for Lyme disease without having to take the samples back to the laboratory. To make our device portable we will be using revolutionary thin optical filters to make the overall design compact and less expensive than most other fluorescence sensor devices. Our device will detect the fluorescent light emitted by markers which attach to Lyme disease antibodies. The type of fluorescent light and concentration of light emitted by the markers is used to determine that a person has Lyme disease.
