Building a Synchronized Oscillatory System

Fluid device designed by Team Wageningen UR to measure oscillations

The [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v463/n7279/abs/nature08753.html paper] our system is based on used microfluidic devices to measure oscillations. Such microfluidic devices however are very expensive and our iGEM team budget was limited, so we decided to design our own fluidic device, which was produced in the Wageningen University workshop. To keep as many options as possible open, the idea of the device is that it can potentially accommodate two bacteria growing platforms, a micro-sieve and a micro-dish. Gaining mor in-depth understanding of our system, we decided to focus on the micro-dish as platform to test the oscillatory behaviour of our construct. Figure 1 and 2 below show the design of the flow chamber as original scetch designed by our team and the 3D rendered depiction of the final device.
