Open Source Bioreactor Antibiotic Pump

Basics

• A Tool used for Anti-Biotic Selected Genetically Engineered Microorganism development and growth in Bioreactors or PhotoBioreactors
• A neccissary tool for Using antibiotic selection, which makes selecting the succsessfuly edited organisms easy, as well as maintaining a pur5e culture
• Relitively Easy to Make

Existing Open Source Designs

David Ishee Design

• Their Youtube Video on It

Minimum Viable Product

• Connects to standard glassware fittings\
• Antibiootic solution DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH the pump (Peristalic is most likely choice then)
• Timing and dosing can be varied
• Can be controlled in a similar manner to print farms for use in large labs

Basic Design

Arduino Contoller

• An arduino, possibly with a better clock module
• May need a shield for the pump motor

Electronics Case

• 3D Printed case that keeps the electronics tidy, and keeps them seperate from any liquid leaks

Power Supply

• USB In for arduino and/or a wall wort style dc plug

Pump

• Either a cheap online one, or a diy one with purchased tube and printed/machined mechanism

Motor

• Depends on the precison needed for dosing
• Servo or simple DC should be fine

Motor-Pump Assembly Case

• Keeps this assembly tidy, plus contains any leaks

Misc Tubing + Fittings

• Mix of Glass, and suitible plastic tubing depending on need

Main Case

• Holds everything together, and holds the in and out fittings as well as the power in fittings
