Cute - 

we can integrate your pipettor in our system.

can it control by Android?

Thanks

any pipettor - open platform.

hi,

we have a prototype - BioBot that's open platform too. It's 25cmx25cmx150cm working space - expandable to 250cm with longer rail.

the pipetting is done with your pipettor so it can use any tips. 

Price range is $2000.

Thanks

Wow that looks great... biggest question for me is what will be the price range?

Hi Everyone, 

I've been reading / lurking for a while while working on a liquid handling robot. I hope to have a working / sellable beta version by end of September.

For now it looks like a 3D printer (see pic), and I'm working on the pipetting capabilities. Work space is about 30cm by 20cm, and ~5cm in Z axis. 

Could use some input from the community on what capabilities you'd like. Feel free to email me directly. 

Tom.

I wouldn't say we're making rapid progress, but we're coming along. We could probably use a brainstorming session to see if we're going in the right direction.

Nope - we don't have a CNC at BioCurious. But we do have a community project to build a lab robot! Not sure what progress they've made lately, but they built a large extruded aluminum gantry, and were discussing syringe pumps, pipetters, PCR modules, etc.

Wasn't there some sub $300 CNC at biocurious that was off-the-shelf
(or at least came as a full kit)?
