Backgrounds

To ensure the biobricks generated in iGEM competitions are repeatable and reliable enough to be put into specific use,a robust measurement procedurehas been developed for green fluorescent protein (GFP) over the last three years by the Measurement Committee, through the InterLab study.Also,numbers of teams participate in this standardized measurement project.We’ve also tried our best to make our contribution.

Aim

By providing a protocol in details as well as forms helping unify the analyse of data,the Measurement Committee hopes to handle the problems emerged when establishing a baseline for replicability of fluorescence measurements and identifying likely key sources of error.So with the same devices,the same protocols and devices,teams all over the world try to measure the fluorescence the devices controlling to generate and study the distribution pattern of those results.

Methods

Cell Transformation

The following devices (from InterLab Measurement Kit) were transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α:

  • Positive control
  • Negative control
  • Test Device 1: J23101+I13504
  • Test Device 2: J23106+I13504
  • Test Device 3: J23117+I13504
  • Test Device 4: J23101.BCD2.E0040.B0015
  • Test Device 5: J23106.BCD2.E0040.B0015
  • Test Device 6: J23117.BCD2.E0040.B0015

Transformation Selection

2 colonies from each of plate were picked and inoculated on 5-10 mL LB medium + Chloramphenicol. Grow the cells overnight (16-18 hours) at 37°C and 220 rpm.

Cell preservation

200 µL of each of the 16 overnight cell cultures was mixed with 400 µL 50% glycerol and the mixture was preserved at -20℃.

Calibration

2 Fluorescence standard curve

Prepare the fluorescein stock solution:

◻ Spin down fluorescein stock tube to make sure pellet is at the bottom of tube.
◻ Prepare 2x fluorescein stock solution (100 µM) by resuspending fluorescein in 1 mL of 1xPBS. [Note: it is important that the fluorescein is properly dissolved. To check this, after the resuspension you should pipette up and down and examine the solution in the pipette tip – if any particulates are visible in the pipette tip continue to mix the solution until they disappear.]
◻ Dilute the 2x fluorescein stock solution with 1xPBS to make a 1x fluorescein solution and resulting concentration of fluorescein stock solution 50 µM (500µL of 2x fluorescein in 500 µL 1x PBS will make 1 mL of 50 µM (1x) fluorescein solution.)

Prepare the serial dilutions of fluorescein:

◻ Add 100 µl of PBS into wells A2, B2, C2, D2....A12, B12, C12, D12
◻ Add 200 µl of fluorescein 1x stock solution into A1, B1, C1, D1
◻ Transfer 100 µl of fluorescein stock solution from A1 into A2.
◻ Mix A2 by pipetting up and down 3x and transfer 100 µl into A3…
◻ Mix A3 by pipetting up and down 3x and transfer 100 µl into A4...

TAKE CARE NOT TO CONTINUE SERIAL DILUTION INTO COLUMN 12.
◻ Repeat dilution series for rows B, C, D
◻ Measure fluorescence of all samples in all standard measurement modes in instrument
◻ Record the data in your notebook
◻ record the result in the sheets provided.The results are as followed

Cell recovery

5µL of preservation mixture of each of the 16 colonies was inoculated in 5 mL LB medium (with 35 ng/µL chloramphenicol) in a 15 mL tube.Cells were incubated overnight for 15 h at 37℃ and 220 rpm.
