Canmore Collegiate High School Synthetic Biology – Canmore, AB
Keeping our water safe, one test at a time
Our aim is to develop a bioindicator test kit, both portable and easy to operate, that is capable of detecting and differentiating cyanotoxins.
Questions We’re Currently Researching
– How do we design a plasmid using benching software?
– What are necessary materials to create a bioindicator device using E. coli?
– What company is ideal to order plasmids from?
– What components are required to design a functional plasmid?
– What genes are able to recognize strands of microcystin and nodular cyanotoxins?
