Project description

> Spectrophotometer Design

UV/visible spectrophotometry is an essential tool in the identification and quantification of a very broad range of chemical and biological substances. It relies on the measurement of radiation intensity absorption at various spectral wavelength. It has proved particularly useful in biochemical analysis, and is of vital importance in the clinical laboratory where various components of blood and/or urine samples, are determined and monitored on a 24h basis.

An essential part of this project is to provide to the Citizen Science community an easy-to-build design of a spectrophotometer. The design will rely heavily on Open Hardware components such as the Arduino microcontroller, as well as on the cheap LED technology. The necessary software will also use Open Source software libraries like Processing in order to control the system and visualise the output signals. The software will be accessible under an Open Source license.

In addition to making use of open hardware and software components, our spectrophotometer device will comply with existing spectral information standards in current use within the scientific community. Such compliance will enhance the ability to share and aggregate the data produce by the Citizen Science community involved.

> Open Spectra Data Set

Within the duration of the project, we propose to develop a WEB2.0 Open Data Set platform in order to aggregate and analyse data produced by our spectrophotometer. With such Web community service, we expect to community spirit behind this Citizen Science project,as well as providing a long lasting infrastructure for future developments. The architecture of the Web service will rely on the Google App framework (similar to Django). It provides an easy to develop SDK as well as database resources. It is planned to provide an Open API to this data set to enable future development in relation to data mining for example.
