In every application of a biosensor it is useful to know the '''amount''' of the factor being measured. There are a numerous existing reporters.  However to our knowledge there are none which are both affordable and <strong>quantitative</strong>.  Some teams attempt to solve this problem by using a series of wells sensitive to increasing concentrations of the substance.  But this requires a great deal of work to tune the sensors correctly.
