Additional information

Using field trial samples provided by collaborators in Hungary (Dr Balint, University of Debrecen, lbalint@med.unideb.hu), this paper reported the successful demonstration of a synthetic biology device for detecting arsenic in drinking water. This develops a programme of work also covered in an earlier prize-winning journal article (DoI:10.1049/iet-stb:20060002; DoI:10.1016/j.desal.2008.05.096). The research is being taken forward by a Wellcome Trust Translation Award (www.wellcome.ac.uk/News/2013/Features/WTP051176.htm, £400k) with collaborators from the University of Cambridge (ja131@hermes.cam.ac.uk) to give an open-access “fair technology” device with global applications for monitoring drinking water.
