Re: [DIYbio] Re: I want to DIY a Stirred-Tank Bioreactor

I have a Fisher glass bio reactor that is pretty simple. An aquarium type air bubbler plus heating element. We decided not to use it in an experiment  where we needed some hydrogen that was close to the LEL.  One of my buddies from LABiohackers made a bioreactor from a plastic cooler. Much  safer in case of explosion. I will try to track down the plans. I recall It did everything but wipe your arse.

Hi everyone! 

Just want to drop in my two cents about the broader discussion (sorry dont have something concrete to contribute re: bioreactors atm). Just a short story ;P

Two years ago, I was at a class in Genspace learning how to pipette and I was like "why hasnt someone made a DIY liquid handling robot yet? why cant I just download and run this protocol?" So I went to the DIY Bio listserv and looked around and, actually, someone HAD made one and even put it out on the listserv! So I reached out to them, and two years and a ton of work later, Chiu and Nick are my co-founders and OpenTrons is a reality. 

I think it is amazing that more and more people are looking to the DIY bio community for better, more accessible solutions to their research needs. Every "I wish I had a ______" email is an incredible opportunity to build a meaningful tool. And between the proliferation of accelerator programs / biohacker spaces and increased crowdfunding traction for DIY bio projects, developing and delivering these types of tools has never been easier. 

I hope that this community can rise to the opportunity and channel its talent, passion, and knowledge to build more amazing 21st Century biotech tools like Open qPCR (cant wait to get mine) and OpenTrons (cant wait to send ya'll yours ;). I think that many of us share the dream that DIY Bio's legacy will be a radically more horizontal and distributed bioeconomy, and I think building the tools that empower people to build better with biology is one of the best ways we can all make that a reality.

Also, thanks for all the great links on bioreactors! 

Thanks,

Will 

PS. If you are tryna bring your project to the next level, contemplating a Kickstarter, whatever, would love to share some hard-won lessons with you and chat. Just let me know! will at opentrons dot com.

hello group , I am new to DIYBIO .. I want to DIY a stirred-tank bio reactor,
tried going through https://github.com/Bioreactor/ but unable to catch a clue where to start it coz of geeked documentation
hence can some one demystify building bioreactor with simple step by step style document or help me find some other open source DIY Project
and guide me to build a bioreactor by providing every single details to DIY a bioreactor. 
kindly provide us the specifications of generic board numbers,specific board numbers  , sensors,  connectors , hardware etc.,
and also kindly provide us the materials like step by step documents and videos in this regard

with love
