[DIYbio] Current examples of DIYbio that I see, what others do people see?

Examples I see...
To date most completed projects have focused on lowering the cost of
laboratory equipment associated with biotechnology.

An Irish bio-hacker named Cathal Garvey created an adapter that can be
printed on a MakerBot (or any 3D printer). When attached to a Dremel
tool it creates a centrifuge capable of performing to the standard of
many lab standard models. This creation dropped the price of a
centrifuge from thousands to a few dollars and made the technology
much more widely available. (http://diybio.org/2010/03/21/906/) Josh
Perfetto and Tito Jankowski created openPCR, a thermocycler device
that heats and cools micro centrifuge tubes filled with PCR reaction
mix to amplify DNA. This unit too compares with comparable commercial
devices selling for more than 5 times the
price.(http://www.wired.com/reviews/2011/12/reviews_pcr/) SpikerBox is
an amplifier kit for listening to the action potentials generated by
neurons.(http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0030837)
The Pearl Biotech gel electrophoresis box is another example of a key
biotech lab item that's open-source.

Cory Tobin of LA BioHackers experimented and produced a plasmid
mini-prep extraction protocol using centrifugal ion chromatography
with silica columns and common household
ingredients.(http://wiki.biohackers.la/Miniprep)
