“To simplify and reduce the cost of water analysis procedures”
Our Vision
To provide affordable laboratory process to the masses without the need for professional training.
Why
Globally, there are reported cases of deaths which could be prevented or reduced if laboratory processes are available to the victims to perform simple on site tests.
Contaminated Water
Death: 842 000/year
Research done by WHO shows that there were 159 million people that relies on surface water. Globally, at least 2 billion people uses drinking sources contaminated with feces which could transmit deadly viruses.
Ebola
Death:> 500
Ebola, a deadly disease spread through bodily fluids has caused more than 500 deaths in medical professionals due to contact with the virus during patient care.
MERS-CoV
Death:750
MERS-CoV, a infectious disease spread by close contact between human has caused 750 deaths out of the 2144 confirmed cases as of 2017
What we do
Lab on a Chip - To simplify tedious laboratory process into a simple portable chip allowing masses to perform essential analysis in fatal situations without the need of professional training.
Simple 3-Step Protocol
1)Load
Load the sample onto the chip
2)Flow
Allow the sample to flow through the micro channels
3)Observe
Observe the visual changes in the result chambers
How It Works
Process 1
Sample Preparation
Process 2
Micro Droplets Formation
Process 3
Reaction Chamber
Our Plan
1Discover
We will prepare ourselves by reading through research journals and internet resources of microfluidics. Then we expose ourselves to criticism from families, friends and mentors. As this is catered to the general public, we will get feedback from them and improvise it.
2Prototype
Use the knowledge gained to create one application for prototype and testing. Carries out further experiments on the general public of different age range to verify our product simplicity.
3Pitch
Present our product to audiences and Q&A . We will also promote our product to different organisation in hope to bring our product to life.
