Biosensum - Université de Montréal SensUs Team

Wow 🤩We made it through SensUs ! 🥳

We are so so happy to have won the 2nd place for the Creativity Award during ! We are very grateful for our team members and everyone else that helped us achieve our goals during this competition ! It was a very challenging year as we switched technologies 3x before presenting our TBF lab-on-a-tip design 😮‍💨 But we are so glad we were able to inspire the judges and attract your curiosity ! 🤍

We also want to congratulate the Creativity Award Winners (1st place), our friends at 🫶🏻✨ Every team has worked so hard and we will forever remember every one of you and this memorable experience !

We are looking forward to seeing you all again (and new faces!) for the upcoming editions 😇

Ever saw "SPR" or "LSPR" and wondered what it all meant ? Surface Plasmon Resonance is one of our University's specialties and is a detection method that exploits the unique optical properties of metals !

Let's take a look at what we did last year to give you a more concrete idea of the theory 😉
• We built an LSPR-based immunoassay
• Our biosensor exploited the optical properties of U- bent fibers coated with AuNP@anti-H1 for the specific detection of Influenza A H1N1
• One cartridge offered accurate results since the analysis was triplicated thanks to the 3 U-bent fibers configuration
• We intially planned on building our own Czerny-Turner spectrometer, but COVID shipping said otherwise 🥲 so we used a commercial Ocean Insight spectrometer for the competition

Hey, Community!

BiosensUM is back in SensUs 2022 ! This year, we have to build a biosensor for the detection of IL-6 in a whole blood sample (LOD :1-1600 pg/ml)!

We decided to go for the very popular LFAs 😉 We hope to conceive a rapid, sustainable, precise and attractive biosensor so we can use it to help treat such as ! 🚨

We are looking forward to share our journey with you all ! 🩸
