Fluorimetry

The OD600 and fluorescence of a great number of samples can be measured the same time with the fluorimeter.
We used it for measuring PBADaraC-cI-LVA+PcI-GFP with different concentrations of arabinose as an induction
signal

Fluorimetry protocol

Inoculate 10ml M9 medium+ antibiotics + 1ml 2% casamino acids and grow the cultures overnight at 37°C.
Grow a logfase to an OD600 of 0.4.
Dilute in a way that the OD600 is decreased to a value of 0.004/
Add 300μl of the diluted culture into a well.
The fluorimeter will measure the OD600+ fluorescence every 15 minutes.
