Design Objectives

Our design was guided by the needs of three user groups:





Simple scientific protocols

Standardized parts

Well characterized and developed system

Standard, easy to use system

Simplified protocols

Modular tool that can be tailored to the application

Modular experiments

Open-source

Open-source

Promote good safety practices

Standardized parts



Resulting in the identification of four core design considerations for our system

STANDARD, MODULAR, SAFE, and USER-FRIENLDY

Overview

To ensure utility of our system, we developed a simplified expression and purification strategy to produce the necessary biomachinery for cell-free synthetic biology.
