InterLab

Introduction

As a bronze medal requirement, iGEM teams have to partake in the InterLab study. These experiments carried out by laboratories across the world ensure that their studies are reliable and repeatable, a key component of scientific disciplines.

Fluorescence is a property commonly measured in synthetic biology however data from different studies often cannot be compared because different units have been used, the data has been processed differently and results are given in ‘relative expression’. The InterLab study aims to address this by using a detailed protocol and data analysis to yield absolute units for measuring GFP, this year focussing on how close the numbers can be when fluorescence is measured all around the world.
