It's becoming pretty obvious that the basic molecular biology workflow requires some equipment that is not typically available from the local supermarket, and that having and understanding the right tools really makes a difference in molecular biology and experimental science.
This group focuses on building, repairing and using biohacking hardware.
A list of current projects are
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.
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 prototype of a cheap researcher microscope in an inverted configuration using makerbeam;
