Plasmid Construction

We constructed two basic plasmids pET28a(+)-ChuA-HrtR and pSB1C3-HrtO-cjBlue and finally transferred them together into E.coli sucessful ,synthesizing our target engineered strain to detect small amounts of intestinal bleeding. (Click here to kn ow more)

After transferring them into E.coli BL21(DE3), we observed the recombinant plasmid transformed colonies on the LB culture medium.

We then successfully verified the correctness of our plasmid by agarose gel electrophoresis:

Expression of ChuA and HrtR  

After repeated experiments, we searched for the optimal IPTG induction time and obtained the target protein by ultrasonic cell crusher, and finally successfully observed the band by SDS-PAGE.

Supporting Hardware Device

Collecting and Oscillating Device

Users can collect and treat their own faeces under non-experimental conditions with our device, and judge whether blood is present in the faeces by observing the apparent results. (Click here to know more)

Biosafety Box

We use thermal insulation materials for 3D printing, which is conducive to the stable culture of bacteria. The small pore region is used for culturing the strain, and the large pore region is used for releasing the reagent tube to ensure the safe transport of the strain.
