Measurement

Welcome to the iGEM Standard Measurement Page!

This page contains information about various standard measurement approaches for characterizing BioBrick parts so that they will be easier to be re-used by future teams. Our first standard measurement procedure is used to measure the activity of BioBrick promoters (or other PoPS-output devices).


Measure promoters with SPUs

SPUs! Measure your promoter in Standard Promoter Units (SPUs) so that your part will be compatible with others in the Registry.
