Once a strand of DNA is made, we will need to check to make sure that it is the correct desired sequence. [[http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/bitstream/handle/10635/20904/WangC.pdf?sequence=1 One possible strategy comes from this paper]] - essentially tagging oligo and looking for fluoresence as a sign that homology was sufficiently similar to produce a result.

===Physical Stress of Launch===
Similar to any other payload, our DNA synthesizer will have to be durable enough to withstand the stresses and forces associated with launch.

We'd like to fit our synthesizer into a 10 centimeter cube, so that it could be launched on a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CubeSat CubeSat] or another standardized research payload.
