InterLab
Preparation
We participated in answering the following question during the InterLab study of this year:
Can we reduce lab-to-lab variability in fluorescence measurements by normalizing to absolute cell count or colony-forming units (CFUs) instead of OD?
Materials

- Eppendorf tubes
- Pipettes
Materials
- LUDOX CL-X
- Silica beads
- Fluorescein
- Phosphate buffered saline
- LB media
- Chloramphenicol

- distilled water
Protocols
We followed the protocol provided by iGEM HQ so that inter-laboratory errors can be reduced. Protocols we used can be found here:
