We still have three experiments to run before the completion of our project:
One that will be the same that, our proof of concept, to ensure it.
One to show that the concentration of bacteria can be stabilized without any other variable measurable than the fluorescence.
A last one to test the device, and show it can run automatically the second experiment.
This proof of concept is a key of the project : we have to show it is possible to control a population with our genetic network.
As the device is not able to measure the absorbance of the solution, it is important to test the precision of the model predictive control when its only available measure is the fluorescence. It will be the same experiment than the proof of concept, but the correction on the light intensity shall be calculated with only the fluorescence as guide.
