<br>
We are VERY pleased to be able to announce the first of our <span
style="font-weight: bold;">Open Source DIY Bio lab equipment hack nights</span>:
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Open Source PCR hacknight</span>.
The upcoming hack night will be focused on building an open source PCR,
we currently have a prototype which cycles but if you have a PCR you're
working on please feel free to bring it as well and work alongside us
and please feel free to invite friends and also forward to anyone you
may feel is interested!<br>
<br>
This event will be run in conjunction with OMGBio and the Micro
Controller Hack night (run by Hol) at Sudo Room.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The overview of the evening will
include:</span> <br>
Principles of PCR <br>
Principles of Temperature Control<br>
<br>
Aims are to get temperature cycling of 1C per second with accurate
measurements at the current rated power<br>

<br>
We'll be using Peltier for cooling and we'll be using Nicrom wire for
heating (although this is up for discussion). If you have any questions
please feel free to contact Ryan, Marc or Hol! </span><br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Ryan<br>
