Achievements

Despite having an extremely small wet lab team (only two members) we believe we've achieved a lot this year. We've come from our initial ideas stage in July, to possessing a fully functional prototype product, good enough to catch commercial attention by the end of October. Alongside this, we've also helped better characterise a pre-existing biobrick.

Below is a brief summary of our biggest achievements

A Well Characterised New Biobrick

The focal point of our wetlab work was the construction and characterisation of a new biobrick [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K381001 BBa_K381001]. This part is a composite of two pre-existing biobricks, with details of its design available here.

As shown in graph 1, we mapped its behaviour across the range where it was known to be most sensitive, further details of which can be found here.

We're proud of this part, and hope it will be useful to other teams in the future.
