Background
The goal for this app is to make a standardized system for light control without the common problems many of the current ad hoc light projection systems come with: high cost, difficult assembly, and low reproducibility. With mobile device tablets integrating into our everyday lives, we found it fitting to develop a program to take advantage of their pervasiveness and utilize them as synthetic biology instruments.
E. colight was a tablet application designed by our iGEM 2012 team in order to project light onto bacterial cultures. This year, our team wanted to continue our 2012 project by expanding the functionality of our app, calibrate it using existing light-inducible promoter systems, and determine the maximum number of experiments we can perform on a single tablet. By designing experiments with high reproducibility that explores the strengths and limitations of the app, we hope to create the canonical system for optogenetics testing.
In addition to characterizing in depth the use of the app, we also developed new features that can accommodate a broader range of growth vessels, a vibration feature, and utilize the heat output of the processor as an incubator.
