Re: [DIYbio] BioCurious BioPrinter Instructable just published!

Yes indeed! Even just printing a gradient of Vibrio fisheri cells would make for an interesting experiment.

I do recommend just starting with E. coli (with or without GFP) for your first experiment though. You can also mix in some food dye or even some of the original inkjet ink into the cell culture while printing, so you can instantaneously verify that the print head is working while bioprinting.

I just finished up some simple experiments showing that you can mix in at least up to one part food dye or inkjet ink in 5 parts E. coli liquid culture, without any noticeable qualitative effects on growth of E. coli colonies after streaking or bioprinting on a plate. Still need to write that up...

If you can get a hold of something with quorum sensing and color out it would be neat to print.

thats what I would do if i had a bioprinter :)

At our next meetup we will build the printer using the instructable in the Open Wetlab at Waag Society Amsterdam. http://www.meetup.com/Dutch-DIY-Bio/events/109027502/

We are brainstorming on what else to print, besides patterns. For example, printing a grid of cell cultures and simulate Conway's Game of Life. I am looking for additional ideas that leverage printing living cells on a 2D surface. What else can you think of?

I hadn't actually looked when I asked for it to be hosted everywhere,
it's just that Instructables as a platform is generally very naggy, and
prevents non-payers from doing simple things like zooming in, etc.

By the way - if anyone is in need a free 1yr Pro membership on Instructables, let me know! One of the benefits of "winning a contest, being featured, or just generally being awesome".
