Introduction
The screening plasmid is designed to enable fast characterization of PoPS-based parts and devices. It consists of 4 components: (1) Tunable input (2) Input measurement (3) Part/Device insertion site (4) Output measurement.
Screening Plasmid 1.0
Terminator Characterization via Screening Plasmid 1.0
Inverter Characterization via Screening Plasmid 1.0
Screening Plasmid 2.0
We are in the process of designing a new version of the screening plasmid to account for some of the shortcomings of the previous version. Details can be found here:
