* We carried diffusion experiment with different designs : punched PDMS, liquid, beads. For every design we added high concentrations of pure AHL in the sender well, so cells are glowing a lot. However because of this high concentration, diffusion is very high and at a given AHL concentration, receiving cells are glowing at the same time for all 4 channel lengths. Check  <html> <a id="insidelink" target="cross-talk" href="https://2014.igem.org/Team:ETH_Zurich/blog#diffusionexp"> the corresponding article </a> </html>  for more details.

*We have a Comsol simulation for these experiments that explains why at this concentration of AHL (1mM), all 4 wells glow at the same time irrespectively of channel length.
