Introduction

Equipment

Test Result

The datas of fluorescence intensity are derived from the mixture of detector cells with samples extracted from the culture of different cells. The specific method is as shown here

here.

Figure 1: We test the equipment fulfulling with the generator cell and the block cell at different flux rate and different time after the alteration of flux rate.The result shows that the output concentration of AHL will decrease with the increase of the flux rates and the block cells could degradate the AHL produced by the generator cell,but the value is still a little higher than what we expected.



Figure 2:We put in more block cells than that in figure 1,that is 1ml immobilized generator cells and 4ml immobilized block cells .The result shows that the block cells also work but not as good as we want.



Figure 3:We test the postive-biased and the negative-biased condition of the system .The result shows that the block cell successfully reduces the concentration of AHL.We can observe that the fluorescence value of postive-biased and negative-biased condition are almost the same which reveals that the amplifier cells are working at both condition .When we add IPTG,the fluorescence of postive-biased will reach a high value as we expected.



Figure 4：We test generator cells together with the amplifier cells at flux rate of 55.6ul/s .The result shows that the concentration of AHL become higher when amplifier cells together with IPTG were added.
