We follow a strategy to circumvent unnecessary costs for customers by realizing a '''social vision'''. In accordance with the principle of open source including both '''open hardware''' and open source, information where to get the necessary components, quantities, a step-by-step technical construction manual and circuit diagrams could be published online for free. So our profit is not of financial nature but is instead based on recognition and on motivating other iGEM teams and companies to spread the idea of open hardware, too. In accordance with the motto do-it-yourself we offer low budget versions while reducing all potential costs but not the material costs. Customers with a little technical skill and willingness to try something new could use our step-by-step building instructions. | We follow a strategy to circumvent unnecessary costs for customers by realizing a '''social vision'''.
