Introduction
Reliable and repeatable measurement remains one of the tough challenges in synthetic biology. In order to overcome this problem, the Measurement Committee, through the InterLab study, has been developing a measurement procedure for green fluorescent protein (GFP) for the last four years. The CFU count is a new feature of interlab study this year. The goal of the 2018 Interlab study is to determine how reliably known parts can conform to expectations and previous results and to calibrate OD600 to colony forming unit (CFU) counts, which are directly relatable to the cell concentration of the culture, i.e. viable cell counts per mL. The CFU protocol assumes that 1 bacterial cell will give rise to 1 colony.
For a more detailed description, please visit the homepage of the iGEM's measurement committee.

Protocol
We strictly followed the protocol provided by iGEM. We measured the experiment of OD600 reference point and fitted the fluorescence standard curve first and then detected GFP expression in E.coli with the plate reader Synergy HT from BioTek.
This is the transformation protocol.
This is the interlab plate reader protocol.

Conclusion
As the results show, each of test devices grows well, and can express reporter protein GFP normally (Figure 1, 2). Compared with different promoters (BBa_J23101, BBa_J23106 and BBa_J23117) and RBSs (BBa_B0034 and BBa_J364100). As for the promoters comparison, the strength of BBa_J23101 is the highest, and BBa_J23117 is lowest. As for the RBSs comparison, the activity of BBa_J364100 is stronger than BBa_B0034. The activity of Device 4 is highest, and Device 3 is lowest.

The activity of Device 4 is highest, and Device 3 is lowest.
Besides, as for the CFU counts experiment, the colony counts increase with the elevated concentration of bacterium. However, theoretically speaking, the value of CFU/mL of each device should be equivalent, our result show that it is affected by error.
We are looking forward to the results from the iGEM lab all over the world!
