Interlab

Overview

Reliable and repeatable measurement is a key component to all engineering disciplines. However, the number of cells in the sample is a variability in measurements. The goal of the iGEM InterLab Study is to identify and correct the sources of systematic variability in synthetic biology measurements. This year, our team take part in the fifth InterLab study, using normalizing to absolute cell count or CFUs instead of OD to reduce variability of fluorescence measurements.

Methods

We followed this protocol to do the Interlab Study.
When we completed three of the calibration measurements, performing the cell measurements. Used the same plates, volumes and settings that we used in calibration protocol. We transformed E.coli DH5α competent cells with the 8 plasmids and picked 2 colonies from each of plates into 5 mL LB medium + Chloramphenicol. After culturing the cells overnight at 37°C and 220 rpm, we used plate reader to measure the Abs600 and fluorescence of samples at 0, 6 hours.
