Interlab

Introduction

Reliable and repeatable measurement is a key component of synthetic biology. However, it has been difficult to repeat the same measurements in different labs. There have been few opportunities to compare the fluorescence data because it has been reported in different units or because different groups process data in different ways.

With the aim to improve the measurement tools available to both the iGEM community and the synthetic biology community, the measurement committee invited all iGEM teams to participate in the fifth InterLab Study, which provides researchers with a detailed protocol and data analysis form, with the aim to produce common, comparable units for measuring GFP on different plate readers.
