The accuracy and usability of point-of-use fluoride biosensors: a field study in Nakuru County, Kenya

Description:

Geogenic fluoride contaminates the water of tens of millions of people. However, many are unaware of the fluoride content due in part to shortcomings of detection methods. Biosensor tests are a relatively new approach to water quality testing that address many of these shortcomings but have never been tested by...

Source Data for "Point-of-use detection of environmental fluoride via a cell-free riboswitch-based biosensor."

Description:

Advances in biosensor engineering have enabled the design of programmable molecular systems to detect a range of pathogens, nucleic acids, and chemicals. Here, we engineer and field-test a biosensor for fluoride, a major groundwater contaminant of global concern. The sensor consists of a cell-free system containing a DNA template that...
