Team Toxipop started off the summer focusing on Resistance measurements rather than Conductance. Much of our summer work was devoted to the construction of an electrical circuit unique to our purpose. Many additions were made to the apparatus each week. Below, you will find information about the different "versions" of the apparatus including final information about our switch to Conductivity.
Our First Apparatus
We started off the summer with the goal of constructing a measuring apparatus that would offer provide consistent and reliable resistance readings. We made sure to keep the electrodes stationary and at a fixed distant in each different sample of bacteria.
