Over the course of the summer we built a set of BioBricks to allow bioluminescence in a wide range of colours which have applications both as reporters for [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/microMeasure '''biosensors'''] and as [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/Lighting '''natural light sources'''].

We also developed software tools to aid construction of BioBrick parts and devices.

* The [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/Eglometer '''E.glometer'''] is a cheap, easily built, piece of electronics for measuring bioluminescence.  It allows scientists without access to expensive plate readers to measure bacterial light output and has potential applications in [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/microMeasure '''quantitative biosensors'''].
