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.
Stamp Picture
This Week
Building parts– Test constructs for Lux, finish Las parts.
Experiments
Photolithography– Go into cleanroom to make a master.
