Previous iGEM teams have charaterised an impressive array of inducible promoters, along with other elements of biosensing circuitry. But, to date, the output from each is not consistent, and, in spite of the unifying biobrick standards used, do not necessarily couple together to make integrated test kits. The Cambridge iGEM 2012 team aim to take the true meaning of biobricks to heart, by creating an applied biosensor standard available for use by all subsequent teams, as well as, potentially, by industry and researchers in the field.

The biosensor aims to be modular in design, allowing the kits to be tailored to an individual's requirements, and to use light as an output to allow computer interfacing. We aim to use two luciferases, one to give a read-out of the input, and the other to normalise the

Where other teams have characterised inducible promoters and other sensors, we intend to create a new, applied, unifying standard for integrating biological sensors into electronic circuits in an open, quantitative and modular fashion. This open source chassis would be a tool for other teams to build on, and stands to
