Dear All,
We are VERY pleased to be able to announce the first of our Open Source DIY Bio lab equipment hack nights: The Open Source PCR hacknight. The upcoming hack night will be focused on building an open source PCR, we currently have a prototype which cycles but if you have a PCR you're working on please feel free to bring it as well and work alongside us and please feel free to invite friends and also forward to anyone you may feel is interested!
This event will be run in conjunction with OMGBio and the Micro Controller Hack night (run by Hol) at Sudo Room.
The overview of the evening will include:
Principles of PCR
Principles of Temperature Control
Aims are to get temperature cycling of 1C per second with accurate measurements at the current rated power

We'll be using Peltier for cooling and we'll be using Nicrom wire for heating (although this is up for discussion). If you have any questions please feel free to contact Ryan, Marc or Hol!
All the best,
Ryan
