10 µL of PCR products were subsequently analyzed by gel electrophoresis (1.2 % agarose, 30 min, 135 V). The results of the migration, on which a 700 bp DNA band is clearly visible, demonstrate the success of the amplification of KillerRed.

The rest of the PCR product was purified using the QIAprep® PCR Purification Kit (#28104, Qiagen, Venlo, Netherlands) and titrated using the nanodrop spectrophotometer available in the lab (final concentration : 95.8 ng/µL). Results of migration and titration are available in the figure below.

- Test the system where the LED is put in the incubateur and measure the temperature of the surface of a Petri dish exposed to the light of the LED that is 7cm above the dish - conclusion: no overwarming - this is a very good point! If the cells expressing KillerRed died, it would not be because of the overwarming of illumination but because of the ROS emission!</br>
