Bielefeld Students Develop Rapid Tests to Test Drinking Water Quality  

In Boston, the iGEM team will compete with this research project against universities from around the world

Ten students from Bielefeld University are working on developing test strips that would allow anyone to quickly test the quality of their drinking water or drink.
