Don't you ever step on a sticky chewing-gum ?!
Nowadays, chewing gum is the second urban pollutant after cigarette butts. To clean chewing gum, specific engines are used but they are heavy and expensive. The time required for its use is long and they need a large quantity of water. Besides economical aspects, chewing gums have an environmental impact. They are dangerous for the wildlife such as birds. Indeed, believing that it is bread, they eat chewing gums and choke. Regarding these alarming facts, we have decided to create a new environmentally- responsible way to sanitize our streets.
Chewing gum pollution is a real problem. From sidewalks to under your desk at school, chewing gums are everywhere!

Nanodrop measurement:
Add 2µL of buffer AE, close the machine and open it again, then clean up and down with paper.
Add 2µL of buffer AE, close and mesure for the blank, then clean up and down with paper.
Add 2µL of your sample and close it. Don’t forget to note your concentration !
Clean your sample with paper, then clean up and down with AE
Don’t put your finger on the paper when you are cleaning, you could contaminate the sample with YOUR DNA !
