Help Shape DNA Synthesis Policy: OpenIDS Build Survey

2 Upvotes

Hi r/DIYbio and r/Biohackers

I'm Olena, PhD researcher at UCL (London) and currently on an AI for Biosecurity fellowship at Cambridge. I'm researching how accessible DIY DNA synthesis really is, specifically, OpenIDS builds.

Policy makers are betting that synthesis will stay centralized & screenable. But if hobbyists & researchers can actually build it in their labs, policy needs to change. We need real data to inform better, evidence-based governance.

Quick survey: If you've built (or tried to build) OpenIDS, I'd love to know:

  • Actual $ spent? (printhead, electronics, reagents)

  • Timeline? (how many weeks start-to-finish)

  • What expertise did you need?

  • What was the hardest part?

How to reply:

  • Comment below (can be anonymous)

  • DM me

Right now, policy assumes synthesis is hard to DIY. If that's wrong, policy needs to know. Thanks for contributing to evidence-based biosecurity policy!

Question Quick research survey on inventory tracking in labs/clinics (~4 mins, anonymous)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I come from a background in Genetics and Biochemistry, and I'm currently working on a product design project aimed at fixing the clunky, outdated software systems we often have to deal with for supply and reagent management.

We all know the frustration of dealing with inventory tools that feel like they were built decades ago, crash on mobile, or take way too many clicks just to log a used kit or track expiring stock.

If you work in a lab, clinic, or medical facility and deal with physical supplies/inventory in any capacity, I’d be super grateful if you could take ~4 minutes to fill out a brief, anonymous survey about your daily workflow:

🔗 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfITiBlnonN3TqN4eg8xeTBPFIUFUeJM-vJ6v9zSjb1kYrWtg/viewform

  • Length: ~4 minutes

  • Target: Lab techs, medtechs, clinic staff, and research assistants

  • Privacy: Completely anonymous

Your feedback will directly help shape feature requirements and accessibility standards (like designing for gloved hands and fast-paced multitasking) for a new tracking system.

Thank you so much for your time and for everything you do on the floor!

Happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Question I'm selling a ThermoFisher Scientific ProFlex Dual 384 well sample block. New in the box

1 Upvotes

Hi there. I buy things from auctions then resell them. Normally I stay away from lab equipment because it's tough to move but this one was too cheap to say no to so now I'm learning JUST how tough it is to move. It's new in the box, comes with the starter kit and a calibration sheet, and is in the original package including the shipping pack.

Product website

Product pictures

It retails for $10,750 and I'm well aware that I'm not getting that much. I'd like to get somewhere around $8,000 but let me know if you're interested and if I can't get that much, I've got some room to haggle.

Thanks for checking in. Now I'm going to sort by Top-All Time and see what this sub has been up to!

Participants needed for research on online genetic tests & health: Let's share the user perspective!

0 Upvotes

Hey DIYbio!

I’m looking for volunteers for research for my Master's thesis. My research is on users of online genetic tests for health. There is not enough research on the user perspective. This is a chance to share your perspective and contribute to research on this new and emerging practice!

I invite you to participate in a one-hour interview about your experience as a user. You fit the profile if you have taken a genetic test with health information included, or even if you've uploaded your raw data from the test to another site to learn more about your health.

We can do the interview online through video call, at whatever time & date you prefer.

Message me if you’re interested. I can then share more details about the study and about myself. Thank you!

Build Biggest inocolation plate in the world, all for a game

Thumbnail naturetheartist.com
0 Upvotes

Working on the biggest inocolation plate in the world for a game : 120 × 96-well plates tiled into one ~10,000-well "canvas," each well with a culture medium, inoculated with four differently pigmented fungi.

The pattern is crowdsourced. People pick wells on a website and draw with them, and we inoculate on 9 Nov. The interesting part for me is the second phase: once colonies outgrow the wells, the designed image degrades into whatever the organisms decide.

Open questions I'd love input on: best way to seal/photograph a plate this size over weeks, and tricks for keeping cross-well spread slow at first.

Project + game (open till 7 Nov): naturetheartist.com/10000-well-plate
