• Orderd and received the primers needed for the PCR of LovTAP
• Designed the cloning strategy for inclusion of the LovTAP BioBrick with different reporting cassettes
• Transformed all the BioBricks that will be needed for the cloning strategies (c.f. notebook for more information about this parts) into competent E.Coli
• Fused the two BioBricks "LacI" and "term"
