In Biomaker Meetup @cammakespace last night we continued turning a £100 peltier-controlled beer fridge/reptile egg incubator into a programmable lab incubator with a data logger. Measurements taken, so we'll have components for prototyping at our April Meetup!

Cells are ready and our Etsy store is now stocked with these for purchase!!! No MTA, no red tape, and all just $20/plasmid or less. Shipping as agar stabs in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells. All proceeds go directly into making more tools for the community. Enjoy!

Turns out an over-the-counter laxative + cells (and a few other common lab ingredients) yields highly competent cells!
Prepping our own cells in house like this takes the average student experiment from ~$12 each to less than a penny!
Lower cost = Access

Another project at @biomakespace @cammakespace Biomaker meetup this evening: @noahsprent has adapted the @OpenFlexure Raspberry Pi camera holder to fit a dichroic longpass filter for taking photos of DNA gels - the power of modular #openhardware!

What is a standard workflow for DNA analysis? In this week's vlog, @jenmgshe is doing a 101 of the steps involved using PCR and gel electrophoresis methods. youtu.be/IQopRzgR4AM #molbio

Finally! @RCA is opening its own #biolab soon to explore the future of #biomaterials. They are looking for a Bio-materials Technical Instructor to support the lab.

Video hiatus is officially over. First one fresh out of the editing bay is out and it's a good one! You get to see part of my new lab, and I show how I made my @opentrons #OT2 robot paint using bacteria. Check it out:

New video is live! Been working on this one for many months so it's great to finally be able to share. Today we explore if GMOs could make malnutrition a thing of the past and make some nutrient enhanced baked goods using custom yeast! #biohacking youtu.be/DHNPnO5UOYQ
