Biolab Equipment

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.
Biobot data logger and IRC bot
Biobot is a raspberry pi based data logger and IRC bot.
Biohacker microscope
This is a project to create a cheap mount for mobile phone cameras, and to transmit the live image using an android app to a desktop computer;
Inverted microscope
A proof of concept of a cheap researcher microscope in an inverted configuration using a makerbeam frame system;
Nasal flow data logger
A simple device to measure the relative left/right nasal flow using an arduino and differential air pressure component.
Shaker Platform
many techniques for culturing microbes benefit from continuous agitation. This is a project to build a shaker platform out of readily available parts and drive the mechanism using the plate turner in a microwave over.
OD600 handheld unit
This is a project to create a cheap hand held unit to determine the OD600 level of a biological sample. Typically this is used for determining mid-log phase of bacterial growth in molecular biology.
I'd also like to resin cast some calibration blocks, so I can compare between equipment in a standard way;

Lab Automation
I made a automatic pipettor with a stepper motor, the linear bearing was done on the 3-in-one lathe {{#ev:youtube|pEgEQ2Acyv8}}
Automated Pipettor for robot arm
The hackspace has a staubli robot arm. This is a project to create a automated pipettor driven by a stepper motor
We have some components that can be used to improve this
