Our circuit was designed to utilize specific parts so that when the E-coli cells containing this gene circuit are exposed to arsenic, the Green Florescent Protein (GFP) is produced making the ticket glow under a blue light.
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR CIRCUIT
pHASE 1
Test efficacy of the circuit in vivo
Grow transformed e.coli with plasma circuit in Arsenic laced media
Serial dilution of arsenic and arsenic to find the lowest activation amount of the circuit in vivo
pHASE 2
Test the efficacy of the plasma circuit in S.I.T.U.
Perform above experiments with prepared plasma circuit
Titrate both circuit and trigger to find optimal mixture
Standardize reactions
Test on paper matrix
pHASE 3
Test efficacy of freeze drying circuit on paper for distribution and storage purposes.
