Diffusion Model
For the initial experiments a model for the diffusion in the Petridish could be useful. The structure is drew in Figure 1.
Snifferometer
One of the other goals of the diffusion modeling was to model the device which we intended to build for the project. We made use of the finite element analysis simulator Comsol Multiphysics[3]
for developing this model.
Different models were analyzed for their suitability before coming to the final design in Figure. The device at the bottom has a membrance preventing the yeast coming in direct contact with external substances, above which is a layer of agar in which yeast is placed, the nutrients for it's growth is fed in through a channel along the sides of the tube using which the yeast cells can also be replaced as and when needed. A micro-optrode is then used to sense the photons emitted by the fluoroscent proteins.
