== [[Project:OD600|OD600 handheld unit]] == | |||
This is a project to create a cheap hand held unit to determine the [http://bitesizebio.com/1005/what-you-need-to-know-about-od600/ OD600] level of a biological sample. Typically this is used for determining [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth#Phases mid-log phase] of bacterial growth in molecular biology. | |||

== bio-rpi-plug == | |||
This is a project based on the rpi-plug platform (raspberry Pi model B+) to add a CO2, humidity, oxygen, CO, NO sensors to a pi based sensor unit | |||
== [[Project:AlgaeIlluminator|Algae Illuminator Lamp]] == | |||
Bio luminescent algeo require a "training" cycle of 12 hours of darkness, followed by 12 hours of light. They will then produce the maximum light output when agitated when in their "night time" phase. This is a device to optimally illuminate a flask of dinoflaggelates using an arduino controlled led lamp array. | |||
