ATTRIBUTIONS
With a spezial thank to a few iGEM-Teams whose work helped us a lot.
We would like to thank the University of Göttingen for helping us testing our miniColicin in other organisms than E. coli, as well as RWTH Aachen for trying to help us with the assembly and characterisation of out orthogonal pair. It was great fun to work with you!
We would like to thank the iGEM team of Texas at Austin as well for constructing their ONBY-orthogonal-pair, we used as template for our own OMT-orthogonal-pair.
We want to thank the iGEM team of Munich for the good collaboration with the syringe pump
The Munich syringe pump
One part of our robot is a do-it-yourself syringe pump which we constructed and 3D printed on our own. Also the iGEM team of Munich had the idea to work with syringe pumps. They want to construct a feature to easily upgrade a 3D printer to a bio printer. The essential part for this transformation is a syringe pump, they constructed. Since our robot basis is a 3D printer and we also use a syringe pump it was natural to work together. Munich sent us their system and we printed the additional parts on our own. This is exactly how they imagine their system. We tested it and gave them feedback on their design and possible challenges, so they can improve their design. For us it was useful to test the multi purpose of our robot and how easy it is to add new parts and features. Also the syringe pump design is different and we had a good chance to evaluate our design and compare it to the one of Munich. We derived useful information within this collaboration and are interested in working closer together in the technical part of the iGEM project. Especially if Munich decides to go on focusing on the do-it-yourself sector, Darmstadt is related to. We like to thank the iGEM team of Munich for this opportunity and wish them success with their project. Keep on working :)
