Weekly Progress

Weekend/Monday

Initial chambers for testing cells & fluorescent beads
  • Finalized parts list.
  • Continued coding image analysis / segmentation code.
  • Fabricated Microfluidics using resources from Kamm lab and Voldemann lab.
  • Moved microscope setup to larger breadboard.

Monday Evening

  • Will start a culture of I13521 from freezer stock. ~12 hours of grow time should be sufficient. Also, potentially growing up KAF95 and miniprepping it may prove useful if we can BioBrick out the fliC273 gene.


Notes

Biology

  • David Liu has agreed to give us MP-QUR, pickup will be TBD, but we can hopefully just go over to Harvard and get the plasmid.
  • The Elowitz Repressilator can apparently be found on Add-Gene, will need to either find or figure out a good testing rig to put it in.
  • Cory has I13521 and I13522, although both are in pSB1A3, which might prove problematic if the KAF95 fliC is also on a pBR322 derived plasmid. Current backup is J04450 which can be found in pSB1C3 and would allow for a co-transformant.
