Summary
On this page you can find the files for rebuilding the different parts of our project and some little helpers for your laboratory. Most parts can be built with any standard tabletop 3D printer. If you are using an FDM/FFF printer, please consider optimizing your printing parameters for best results of your printed part.

Microfluidic Kit
Wafers
Essential for microfluidics are the wafers, which are used in the manufacturing process of the microfluidic chips.
UV Chamber
DLP printed wafer are working best if they are hardened with UV light after beeing printed. This little DIY UV chamber can be used to do so. Be careful to use respective precautionary measures.
PDMS Stirrer
A simple and easy to construct stirrer for mixing the PDMS.
Oven
To accelerate the polymerization of the PDMS the molding vessels can be heated with the mold in an oven. We designed this small and very simple oven that is printed and assembled quite easy and fast.Syringe Pump
For conducting microfluidic experiments syringe pumps are an essential device to get preculture, media and different other substances through your channels and in your chambers. This 3D printed syringe pump is quite easy to print, assemble and use. The perfect starter pump for your experiments.
Lab Supply
Gelcombs
Gelcomb (standard version)
Wikifreeze is coming and you need to analyze many samples? We got your back. Use this gelcomb with 25 chambers for higher sample throughput. Download the file and start printing, it won't take long.
Gelcomb (slim version)
Do you need a higher resolution of your samples and sharper bands? Try this special gelcomb version with thinner chambers (1 mm thickness).
Tube Stands
Tube Stand (5 x 50 ml)
Many tubes but too few stands? Don't steal it from your coworkers, nobody likes searching for stands. Print this easy and nice tube stand for up to 5 50 ml tubes and never search for stands again.
Single Tube Stand (50 ml)
You only need one tube? Use this single tube stand for 25 ml tubes and save space on your working area. It can also be combined with other Hardware parts for an integrated stand.
Protein Purification Mount
If you need to purificate quite often, maybe think about using this neat mount for up to 5 purification columns. Don't tinker in your lab with different mounts, just print it and get started. The assembly is quite easy and no tools are needed.
Models
Nanopore Model
Nanopore sequencing is a very fast and relatively easy method for sequencing big amounts of DNA. One main feature needed is the Nanopore, a small lipoprotein with a channel like structure.
Wafer Model
Wafer for microfluidic chips have very small structures on it to form the microfluidic channels. Often they are not visible for the naked eye. Therefore models of those wafers can easily be used to let the structures be seen in detail and thus can remarkably increase the understanding of the structures functions.
Solder Stand
You are working on a hardware part and have lots of soldering work to do? Your solder roll is always rolling around and it is difficult to get a nice and clean soldered point? Try out our solder stand. It is perfectly suited to help you with your work and get good results.
