The company Xylem has kindly provided us with a pH measuring device. In the course of this, we also had a training session on Zoom yesterday, where we were told many interesting facts about pH measurement. It was about the construction of a measuring electrode, about the calibration and many other interesting tips and tricks around the measurement.
Recently, two nice representatives from Macherey Nagel visited us in our lab. They shared a lot of interesting information about their kits with us and the exchange was also very helpful and informative. Thank you very much for your visit!
On Tuesday, 30.08.2022, we gave a lecture on synthetic biology in a biology advanced course at the Gaußschule in Brunswick. We not only gave the students an understanding of synthetic biology and the principle of cloning, but also told them about our project and the iGEM competition.
Together with the iGEM team from Tokyo, we want to spread awareness about various cancers. We will inform you about different cancers on our Instagram account: igem_spreds_awarness.
From risk factors to diganosis and treatment options to prevention options, it's all there! Feel free to take a look: https://instagram.com/igem_spreads_awareness_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Have you ever spoken to an expert in the field of carotenoids? We have! Members of our team talked to Dr. Nadja Alina Henke about using the biosynthetic pathway of astaxanthin for our project.
To acquire knowledge effectively, it's best to talk to experts. For this reason, we met with an "Intein master" from a former iGEM team who participated in the 2020 competition. Besides interesting information about inteins, we also talked about his experience with iGEM. Thank you, Andreu!
For a successful project, it is indispensable to learn new methods of analysis and improve skills and knowledge. Therefore, some members of our team received an introduction to High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
For this purpose, anthocyanins from various plants were isolated and subsequently analyzed by HPLC.
