Raw Data

Discussion

The results obtained fit a linear plot very well.

Conclusion

Now that we have a calibration curve in terms of units of fluorescence, it is possible for us to convert the results obtained in terms of fluorescence to molecules produced. This would make the results more generic and thus the transfer function of the constructs can be obtained which is independant of the reporter attached at the end of the construct.


The conversion from one unit to another can be done using this conversion method.
