BioWire Progress ReportWeek Six“Halfway There” Orr Ashenberg, Patrick Bradley, Connie Cheng, Kang-Xing Jin, Danny Popper, Sasha Rush
Last Week • [Almost] Finished building Lux parts • Did experiments with Lux senders • Got cleanroom certification
Building the Circuits • Lux • All parts finished (except receiver test construct). • Started moving plasmids in order to cotransform. • Las • Still building parts. • Switched constitutive promoters, P(Bla)-->P(Cat) because the old part just wasn’t working. • Moved within two cycles of finishing.

Photolithography • Master • Completed general cleanroom training. • Will get tool-specific training as soon as Kit’s lab gets their SU-8 2. • Ordered (will order?) SU-8 2075. (Balance of low viscosity and good thickness.) • Talked with Microchem researcher about SU-8 types and protocols.
Photolithography • Stamps • Poured PDMS negative molds out of 33 rpm vinyl records in Kit’s lab. • Continued to experiment with pouring stamps from 96- and 384-well plates, using 3% and 5% high gel strength agarose. • Stamped cells using last week’s stamps.
This Week • Building parts • Test constructs for Lux, finish Las parts. • Experiments • Photolithography • Go into cleanroom to make a master.
Updated Schedule • Week 1 (6/6): Project Choice and Design • Week 2 (6/13): Got parts and set up tests • Week 3 (6/20): Began building test constructs, finished sender • Week 4 (6/27): Finish receiver, receiver w/repressor; CAD a mask • Week 5 (7/4): Continued building parts, received mask • Week 6 (7/11): Finished Lux, Tested senders, made PDMS molds • Week 7 (7/18): More experiments, finish Las, make first master/PDMS/stamp • Week 8 (7/25): Experiments • Week 9 (8/1): “ • Week 10 (8/8): “ • Week 11 (8/15): “ • Week 12 (8/22): “
