- thermocycler v 0.2 w SW
thermocycler v 0.2 w SW The last prototype gave me an idea of the component layout so I came up with this final diagram for its circuit: wiring diagram: heatblock Crafting the main heating chamber for small PCR vials proved to be a challenge. I couldn’t use 3D printing as I needed a metal material […]
As someone who is drawn to creating, making, and exploring, I have always been fascinated by the sciences, particularly physics, biology, robotics, and audiovisual art. My background in electronics and the arts has fueled my curiosity and desire to learn more about these subjects, and reading about biology, genetics, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and philosophy has only further piqued my interest.
I am excited to share my recent efforts to build my own laboratory space, where I can delve deeper into these fields and experience them firsthand. Whether it’s through tinkering, bodging, or simply exploring.
current lab conditions
