− | We integrated several ideas from conversations and [[Team:Czech_Republic/Practices/Interview|interviews]] with two experts in CTC diagnosis. As recommended we tested agglutination in microfluidic chips instead of tubes. Also, as was suggested, for signalling orthogonality tests in Module 2, we used GFP as the output signal instead of agglutination to make the result more obvious. See our [[Team:Czech_Republic/Project|Project page]] for more details.
