Thanks to the several tests we performed we were able to see the blue light scattering and to quantify it. We observed two distincts peaks, a blue peak and a green one, with the free GFP sample and only one blue peak with eGFP bacteria sample. These results shows that the blue light hides a part of the green fluorescence, since we obtained one blue peak, which is what we want to avoid. The cell lysis protocol allowed us to quantify this light scattering but is not a solution that we can apply in the field..

To conclude, our spectra shows that the green fluorescence was hidden by the blue light. This will be a problem in the final value of arsenic concentration because the sensor detects more light that there is in reality.
