At the end of 2020, Cadida was awarded the contract for the project. Development was planned to run for 3 years and was carried out in cooperation with 5 consortium partners: a research foundation, a university and 3 industrial companies.With this device, samples can be tested for the presence of specific DNA sequences much faster, more easily and with greater complexity. In practice, for example, blood samples can be tested for the presence of cancer DNA, or food samples such as maize for the presence of genetically modified components (GMOs).
In detail, our tasks comprised the computer-aided analysis and visualisation of the data, creating the user interface, camera and LED control, image acquisition, image analysis and presentation of results.
Cadida was also responsible for the design and implementation of the software architecture and for the data models and interfaces. We developed user stories (use cases) and provided automated tests to verify them, ensuring that the requirements were met in detail.
This exciting project started in February 2021.
