Hardware
Basic Hardware being worked on
Core equipment
Open PCR - with a low target price
Gel Box - 120 Volts with amps upto 400 milliamps, imaging possible using a webcam or cell phone
Incubator - Foam box with plexiglass hood and incubator (airflow is important possibly just a little hole, possibly Kombucha style with paper towel top)
Centrifuge - centrifuge (based on the dremelfuge idea of utilizing commercially available equipment)
Our current idea is to us a modular design which would allow the use of one standardized power unit and possibly CPU
Additional Hardware Project Wish list
Sterlization Hood
Mini Fridge
Wetware
Software
Currently discussing a possible open source automation OS for all the modules but still at a very early stage, Marc is has an open source LIMBS system he's developing which may be adoptable.
