Original System: PCR Results

PCR Test Results

Sample Name Ave. INTDEN* Calculated μg/mL Conclusion (pos/neg)
Positive Control --- --- N/A
Negative Control --- --- N/A

* Ave. INTDEN = Average of ImageJ integrated density values from three Fluorimeter images


Bayesian Statistics
These following conditional statistics are based upon all of the DNA detection system results that were obtained in the PCR lab for 20 hypothetical patients who were diagnosed as either having cancer or not having cancer.

Bayes Theorem equation: P(A|B) = P(B|A) * P(A) / P(B)


Calculation 1: The probability that the sample actually has the cancer DNA sequence, given a positive diagnostic signal.

  • A = [text description] = [frequency shown as a fraction] = [final numerical value]
  • B = [text description] = [frequency shown as a fraction] = [final numerical value]
  • P (B|A) = [text description] = [frequency shown as a fraction] = [final numerical value]
  • P(A|B) = [answer]



Calculation 3: The probability that the patient will develop cancer, given a cancer DNA sequence.

  • A = [text description] = [frequency shown as a fraction] = [final numerical value]
  • B = [text description] = [frequency shown as a fraction] = [final numerical value]
  • P (B|A) = [text description] = [frequency shown as a fraction] = [final numerical value]
  • P(A|B) = [answer]



New System: Design Strategy

We concluded that a good system Must Have:

  • [Must have #1 - why? short, ~4 or 5 sentences]
  • [Must have #2 - why? short, ~4 or 5 sentences]


- Simple OpenPCR Software: The OpenPCR Software shoulder be simple and easy to use and that would help lab experiments done faster, rather than the need to spend extra time to figure out how the software works.

We concluded that we would Want a good system to have:

  • [Want #1 - why? short, ~4 or 5 sentences]
  • [Want #2 - why? short, ~4 or 5 sentences]

- Low cost: OpenPCR $599 Fluorimeter $300. A low cost material would help since there is always a limited budge for the research experiment. This would allow us to buy more OpenPCR and fluorimeter and create more data results in the same amount of time.

Phone camera should not be easily moveable when played in front of the fluorimeter. Phone camera adjustment can be time consuming and not setting it in the correct position/distance results data error. There should be an extra modification where the camera should be in a fixed position and distance and easily re-adjustable.


We concluded that a good system Must Not Have:

  • [Must Not Have #1 - why? short, ~4 or 5 sentences]
  • [Must Not Have #2 - why? short, ~4 or 5 sentences]



We concluded that a good system Should Avoid:

  • [Should Avoid #1 - why? short, ~4 or 5 sentences]
  • [Should Avoid #2 - why? short, ~4 or 5 sentences]

New System: Software

[THIS SECTION IS OPTIONAL. If your team has creative ideas for new software, and new software is a key component included in your new protocols, R&D, or machine design, you may describe it here. You will not receive bonus points, but a solid effort may raise your overall page layout points. If you decide not to propose new software, please delete this entire section, including the ==New System: Software== header.]
