One of our greater visions we share with the synthetic biology community is that everyone interested in biological work should have access to basic laboratory equipment. With our OD/F Device we are able to offer a low cost solution for community labs, biohackers and high schools. | One of our greater visions we share with the synthetic biology community is that everyone interested in biological work should have access to basic laboratory equipment.

- | In general we have to make a difference between our OD and our F device. The reason for this is the bad comparability to commercial devices. These don't combine the measure of fluorescence and OD. With our OD/F we offer a solution to combine both measurement methods in one device. With our given instructions it is also possible to build two separate devices one for OD and one for F.

With our given instructions it is also possible to build two separate devices one for OD and one for F. In this context we offer the user a higher flexibility of choice. The user is also able to modify our device according to his own ideas and wishes. |
Commercially obtainable spectrophotometers like [http://www.opticsplanet.com/unico-model-s-1205-spectrophotometer-5-nm-bandpass.html UNICO S-1205], for example, costs 1.249 $ or more, and can measure optical density only. At the same time they are heavy, not portable and therefore not easy to handle. But compared to our device it is able to work with a broader range of wavelengths. | Commercially obtainable spectrophotometers like [http://www.opticsplanet.com/unico-model-s-1205-spectrophotometer-5-nm-bandpass.html UNICO S-1205], for example, costs 1.249 $ or more, and can measure optical density only.
