2. iGem Global synthetic biology competition International Genetically Engineered Machine 8th year in a row, first time Wageningen UR competes Genetic building blocks
15. Modeling of the microsieve A more global approach Units are more logical A more widely applicable model However: Many measurements are needed to validate the model Many physical units are required
16. Measurement plans Introduce different flow rates to the system Measure both the outflow and permeate flow (under influence of pressure) Introduce a cell suspension to the system Measure flow rates
17. Goal Produce a model that can estimate a flow rate to achieve: An appropriate cell density A constant oscillation through AHL expression
18. Questions In which way do we model this most efficiently? Which of these models is actually feasible? Is it possible to combine the models?
