I'm new here, but I wanted to run an idea I've had by you guys. A friend and I have been toying around with building modules for the OpenTrons. We think it'd be cool to have a centrifuge, an arm that can open/close pipets, and also a HEPA filter/Laminar Flow Hood attachment. Given the complexity of the first two ideas, we've started designing a filtration module for the OT.
-- We're thinking that the market size is probably pretty small, so I'd love to get your feedback on this. Basically we're thinking about building an enclosure for the OT that'd have a blower adjacent to a HEPA filter - similar to the design discussed here.
Ideally, we'd like to sell them to OT owners (this is where the small market size comes in haha) and we're thinking that pricing could go as high as $500 depending on how we build it.
I'd love to get your general thoughts on the above, as well as to the following questions:
- What kinds of experiments are you currently not able to run with an OT due to contamination concerns? (if you don't have an OT - what kind of experiments would you like to run with one but can't for the same reason?)
- What filtration systems are you using in your labs currently? (names/brands)
- If you use a laminar flow hood, which class of hood do you use? (I, II, III, V)
Thanks!
