3d printed Straw Pipetter

Christopher Pendlebury has created a simple pipetter suitable for dispensing liquid in the 200μL to 1000μL range.

Instructions

1. Print StrawPipette.stl 2. If necessary, clean up hole so straw slides in easily. The straw should stay in snugly, but shouldn't crush the straw. 3. Read More →

3D printed “smart” rection vessels

Leroy Cronin and his team out of the University of Glasgow have used a 3D printer they modified to use bathroom sealant to develop a wide variety of custom reaction vessels. The video above shows the printing of such Read More →

CheapStat: An Open-Source, “Do-It-Yourself” Potentiostat

A potentiostat is a wonderfully useful tool in the study of electrochemistry. However, their widespread adoption is limited primarily by their price, with research setups often costing up to $10,000 and barebone potentiostats still upwards of $1,000 (i.e. Dagan Read More →

Lego Electrophoresis Box

If there ever was a recipe for success it would certainly include Legos and Biology. Gel Electrophoresis allows the sorting of molecules based on size and charge and is a very common and useful technique in molecular biology. Like most lab Read More →

The Light Bulb PCR Machine

This clever device shatters the cost of current thermal cyclers and increases the accessibility of this integral piece of bioware. For less than $50, it could be yours. Citizen Scientists have already begun Read More →

The $25 Thermal Cycler

Using a thermal cycler of his own design(circuit below) Brian Blais of Bryant College was able to achieve successful pcr.  It's important to note, because using a simple incandescent light bulb he got ramping of 1C/sec for heating and .25C/sec Read More →

Swiss Army Tube Block

Kyle Lawson has designed a versatile tube holder capable of being printed with a 3D printer.
In biological sciences, we use 6 different sizes of tubes for samples. This Read More →
