Introduction

The characterisation of parts and devices in the [http://partsregistry.org/Main_Page Registry of Standard Biological Parts] have have been considered in terms of rate of gene expression in the units Polymerase per Second (PoPS) or Ribosome per Second (RiPS). However the characterisation of the cell-free chassis housing the expression machinery has not been considered up till now. Using [http://www.promega.com Promega's] commercial S30 E. coli cell extract, our team has investigated some parameters that will help us to better understand the characteristics and limitations associated with cell-free systems.
