<a name="Fabrication of microfluidic device" id="Fabrication of microfluidic device"></a><h1>1. Fabrication of microfluidic device </h1> <p>Microfluidics has recently emerged as a robust platform for the formation of microdroplets. Monodisperse aqueous droplets in oil are formed and manipulated with microfluidic device. These droplets are in the nL-pL range and can be considered as completely isolated reaction chambers. Microdroplets can be generated at rates in excess of thousands per second. The power of microfluidics to prepare droplets lies in the formation of uniform droplets, fine control of the shape, size and monodispersity. </br></br> First we designed microfluidic patterns using AutoCAD and fabricated masters with patterns on silicon wafer in clean room. Afterwards, we used elastomeric polymer, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), as stamps to replicate the patterns on master, known as soft lithography technology. Before sealing PDMS pad with microfluidic channels on class slides, we punched holes at the inlets and outlets of the channels. </br></br> To prepared droplets, we designed flow focusing patterns. Mineral oil was the continuous phase. Syringe pumps were employed to control the fluid speed of aqueous and oil phases. Through tuning the fluid speeds, surfactant concentration in oil, we obtained stable droplets with excellent monodispersity. </p></br>

Design and construction of in vitro transcription and translation (IVTT)</h1> <p>Transcription and translation are the central biochemical reactions in living systems, which are universally preserved in all life formats, such as in modern cells. Therefore, in vitro transcription and translation (IVTT) provides a powerful experimental model for exploring events in our A.I. cells. </br></br> In IVTT system, the plasmid DNA encoded with functional genes was designed and constructed first; with incubation with cell lysates, DNA was transcribed to RNA, which was afterwards translated to proteins. Our IVTT contains two parts: cell lysates and plasmid DNA. </p></br> <div class="kuang" style="width:500px;"> </br><a href="http://openwetware.org/images/6/68/Construction_of_IVTT_system.png" target="_blank" ><img src= "http://openwetware.org/images/6/68/Construction_of_IVTT_system.png" width="480" alt=""/></a> <div id="Enlarge"> <p> <span style="font-size: 14px"> <b>Figure 2.</b> Construction of IVTT system</span><a href="http://openwetware.org/images/6/68/Construction_of_IVTT_system.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://2013.igem.org/wiki/images/9/90/Enlarge.jpg" width="20" height="20" align="right" alt="" /></a></p></div></div></br>
