Team:Carnegie Mellon/Notebook

Under Construction.

The CMU iGEM team did a lot this summer from building a light to playing with an Arduino to improving an estrogen sensor. Luckily, we tracked everything in our handy-dandy notebook.

Week 1

Take me to Tab 2

May 26th, 2015
  • First day of work!
  • Familiarized ourselves with the lab.
  • Made LB (protocol) & poured plates (protocol).

The light fluoresces! We have transformants & isolated proteins.

Week 1

Week 5

Estrogen Sensor:

  • tried newly transformed cells, all taken from the same plate
  • tried to get similar-sized colonies
  • tested the following amounts of estrogen: 100 uM, 20 uM, 10 uM, 1 uM, 100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, 0 nM got very varied and inconsistent results no pattern between amount of estrogen added & reading high standard deviation think that there is a problem with the transformation will try another transformation

yo this is cool
