iGEM 2014 Microfluidics Track
Bronze Medal
- Team registration
- Complete Judging form
- Team Wiki
- Poster and talk for the iGEM Giant Jamboree ready
- Demonstration of the implementation of any fluidic system. Our team documented it via video, images, and text how our team fabricated and tested any milli-, micro- or nano-fluidic system. The system documentation include both the fluidic device and any hardware for controlling the device (e.g. syringe pump). We provide evidence that (a) at least one system was fabricated, and (b) at least one aspect of the system (e.g. flow of food color) functions as planned>
Silver Medal
In addition to these, our team achieved the following goals that qualify us for a silver medal:
- Our team have demonstrated the implementation of a novel fluidic system
- Our team have documented what we consider the novel features are compared to previous work. We also used an existing fluidic system to miniaturize an established biological process or characterize an existing Part or Device. Next we have document any biological protocols performed utilizing your fluidic system
Gold Medal
In addition to the Bronze and Silver Medal requirements, our team achieved the following goals, that qualify us for a gold medal:
- Utilizing our novel fluidic system, we have characterized the function of an existing Part. Any biological protocols performed utilizing our microfluidic system is documented. We compared biological protocols conducted on-chip against standard bench top techniques. Data collected is uploaded to the page of the part(s) used on the Registry of Standard Biological Parts via experience page/contribution system.
- Our team improved the function of an existing BioBrick Part or Device, entered this information in the Registry, created a new registry page for the improved part, and submitted this part to the iGEM Parts Registry.
- Our team helped another registered iGEM teams from another institution by characterizing a part and collaborated with other registered iGEM teams.
- In our to address all the ethical and safety concerns related to our project (ie. Bringing synthetic biology outside the lab, the possibility that a microbial sensor device that detects landmines would be used by the wrong persons)
