The iGEM Community is founded on the principal of tool and skill proliferation. With the Registry ever expanding, hundreds of parts, there still exists a need to unify the assaying techniques and results used by synthetic biologists. The Interlab Study was developed three years ago in attempt to study how fluorescence can be standardized over multiple labs. Traditionally, fluorescence is measured using MFI, Mean Fluorescence Intensity, an arbitrary unit of fluorescence. In the Interlab Study all fluorescence was measured in MEFL, Molecules of Equivalent Fluorescein, a standardized set of units based on the fluorescence of metallic collaboration beads.
