“Alternative read-outs are very interesting. For a device like yours, which is able to be applied in the fjeld, this is a really nice trick.” - Dr Van Der Burg (BioDetection Systems) Now: Numerous but Impractical Our System: Cheap, Easy to handle for non- biologists in the fjeld, plug-&-play, quantifjable
