NOTEBOOK
Labjournal 2016
For half a year we were working in the wet lab , developed a pipetting robot and simulated the molecular dynamics of our proteins . As well we would like to highlight certain social events which helped us to further improve our team spirit.
Lab Week 1: |
Hier könnte Ihr labjournal stehen! | |
Meeting with the people interested in the technical part of the project, discussing the task and the possible ideas. | ||
modeling | ||
social |
Lab Week 2: |
Hier könnte Ihr labjournal stehen! | |
Decision who will participate in the project and which direction we chose. 4 people forming the team and we do some research. Idea is to redesign a 3D printer | ||

CADs are ready and the bill of materials is finished with the supplier information. We order the parts and talk to our workshop if they can make the needed adjustments. Our optics is chosen to be a Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera and we are using the OpenCV package to do the detection work. | ||

The ordered materials arrived and we started assembling the chassis. We talked to the workshop and they prepare some of the parts for us. One of our team members is preparing the OpenCV software and getting familiar with the camera | ||

We have some problems assembling the chassis. Some parts need to be adapted. We like to have as much active measuring area as possible. The first 3D printed parts for the syringe pump are ready and we need to redesign some parts. The optics require IR light from underneath. Next week we are discussing the details of the construction | ||

Reporter SystemBBa_K1976002:The mVenus-LVA-gene was synthesized by idt and amplified through PCR using the SP-amplify-fw-Rep1 (fw) and SP-amplify-rev-Rep2 (REV) oligonucleotides. | |
We are playing with the stepper motors and waiting for some final parts for the x-y-axis. | ||

Lab Week 18: |
Reporter SystemBBa_K1976002:The PCR product was verified by agarose gel electrophoresis and subsequently purified. The mVenus amplicon was cut with EcoRI and PstI and ligated into a pSB1C3 vector using T4-ligase. | |
x-y-axis is mounted but we still need to adjust everything so it is moving smoothly The z-axis need a holdering made out of aluminum blocks we have to order. In that time we working on the GUI and the Qt software | ||

Mounted the z-axis and tuned the x-y axis. The optical software is nearly ready to use and we like to test it next week. We started connecting the electronics to an ATX power supply. The Raspberry Pi is set up and ready to use. We still have some problems with the wireless connection. | ||

Lab Week 22: |
Reporter SystemBBa_K1976003:The mVenus-LVA-pSB1C3 plasmid was cut with EcoRI and PstI and ligated into a T7-RBS-pSB1A3 plasmid which was cut with SpeI and PstI. Metabolic burdenBBa_K1976000:The BioBrick BBa_E0240 was cut with the restriction enzymes XbaI and PstI. BBa_J61002 was cut with SpeI and PstI. The two restriction products were ligated by standard T4‑Ligation protocol. BBa_K1976001: B0034‑BBa_I11020 was cut with XbaI and PstI. BBa_J23101 was cut with SpeI and PstI. Both fragments were ligated using the T4‑Ligase by standard protocol. | |
We installed the LEDs, relays and drivers for the LEDs. Sometimes they are not working properly but it seems to be a problem of the software, one is focusing on that task. X-y-Axis and z-axis movement works. We are installing the endstops to assure the steppers motors are stopping at the end of the movement. | ||

Reporter SystemBBa_K1976003:The ligation product was transformed into E.coli Top 10 by heat shock transformation and the cells were spread out on a AMP agar plate. Metabolic burdenBBa_K1976000:After plasmid preparation, the plasmid was cut with XbaI and PstI. We had the attp‑site BBa_11023 flanked by the two additional bidirectional transcription terminators BBa_1001 synthesized by IDT. The attp‑site of BBa_11023 was not the original λ‑attp‑site. Instead the sequence corresponded to the attP2‑site used in the Gateway ® cloning system. The construct was cut with EcoRI and SpeI. The pSB1C3 backbone was cut with EcoRI and PstI. Together with the previously cut BBa_J61002‑BBa_E0240 construct the synthesized BBa_1001‑BBa_11023‑BBa_1001 construct was ligated in the cut pSB1C3. BBa_K1976001: The ligation product was transformed into E. coli Top 10 via heatshock. | |
The GUI is on principle ready to use. Our RAMPS board is maybe broken and we buy another one. The syringe pump was tested and it works like expected. | ||

Reporter SystemBBa_K1976003:Clones were screened with colony PCR using VF2 and VR oligonucleotides. Plasmid DNA was isolated from positive clones . Metabolic burdenBBa_K1976000:The attP2‑site was mutated to λ‑attp via Quick‑Change‑PCR, using the following primers: QC_attp_fw and QC_attp_rev (for more details see our primerlist). BBa_K1976001: To check whether BBa_I11020 was expressed properly a SDS‑Page was made. | |
Munich sent us their syringe pump. We are now printing the additional parts and like to test it. Still working on the electronics and one LED strip needs to be soldered again. We installed our lightbox and we can clearly see the objects and have target vectors which we are using for our auto tracking later | ||

We assembled the Munich syringe pump and tested it. It works good and we have new ideas for our system. We gave them feedback for their design. Our robot is working but we need to fix some bugs. Also we have to adjust some parameters. | ||

Reporter SystemBBa_K1976003:Subsequently the psB1A3 vector containing brick was cut with EcoRI and PstI and ligated into a pSB1C3 vector using T4‑Ligase. Metabolic burdenBBa_K1976000:For plasmid curing the final plasmid construct and the low copy backbone pSB4A5 were cut with EcoRI and PstI and then ligated. BBa_K1976001: For plasmid curing the final plasmid construct and the low copy vector pSB4K5 were cut with EcoRI and PstI and then ligated. BBa_K1976000 and BBa_K1976001 were cotransformed into E. coli Top 10. To check whether the genomic integration was successful a cPCR with attb_fw and VR primers was made. | |
We are testing the functionality of the robot. Unfortunately we still have no mVenus to work with, however we can do some test with our light detection. We encapsulated the robot and can control it via network. We are finalizing the robot | ||
