Team:US AFRL CarrollHS/InterLab

This year, we complete the Interlab along with the Flow Cytometry portion to qualify for the bronze medal. Below you can find our data including the results of our competent cell test kit, background fluorescence information from out samples, and raw data. This year we were also able to utilize our Flow Cytometer as well to submit our flow cytometry data to iGEM. We hope that by submitting our data to iGEM, we can help standardize measuring protocols for reproducibility within experiments.

In this year’s InterLab, our team transformed E. coli DH5α with different plasmids expressing Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). A plate reader was then used to measure fluorescence and absorbance values from the transformed strains.
