Topics
This workshop introduces the participants into advanced hacks to build DIY biolab instruments through hacking of abundant consumer electronics and recycled electro-trash. Starting with optical hacks turning cheap webcams into microscopes, we then go further and look into photo-spectrometers to follow biochemical reactions, optical density sensors (ODS) to monitor growth of algae cultures and fluorescence measurements to detect bacteria in water samples. The workshop is accessible to beginners and advanced DIYbio enthusiasts, some experience in electronics, biology and hacking to share with the group is appreciated.
Material provided
