We took part in the interlab study to contribute to the iGEM community and because it represents a key principle of our project: reproducibility. The multipurpose applications of our light-induced technologies require every user to think about how reliable these light switches are, the methods that we use to measure their effectiveness and their intended purposes. We have fully enjoyed participating in iGEM’s interlab and hope to have successfully contributed to this global endeavour.

All protocols and methods followed were provided by iGEM.
