Abstract
Microbial cell culture is one of the most commonly performed protocols for synthetic biology, and laboratories are increasingly using 96-well plates and laboratory automation systems for cell culture. Here we describe a method for reproducible microbial culture using laboratory automation systems including automated liquid handlings, automated plate sealing and de-sealing, and automated incubation and measurement of growing cultures. We discuss the key considerations that, in our experience, are important for reproducibility, and present statistical analyses of data from 150 automated microbial growth experiments performed over 27 months using our automated method.Citation
