When changing certain parameters in the program to simulate an alternating current the hydrolysis disappeared as it should. However <span class = "lightblue">due to low concentrations</span> of both yeast cells and GECO protein we were <span class = "lightblue">not able to see any light</span> when testing the device with the yeast cells. The device was also too big to fit inside a more sensitive measurement apparatus. Therefore it can be concluded that the device and software work as they are supposed to, but it cannot be validated if the device can really be used to create a screen.</p><br />
