From the project

Exploring agency in biological practice

Lab-from-a-chip is a DIY intervention in Lab On A Chip technology using model organisms inspired by Science and Technology studies and scientific practice and part of Ross Dalziel's PhD research, Critical Kits at the Division for BioMedical Life Sciences at Lancaster University (BLS) and makerspace DoESLiverpool.

\"A lab-on-a-chip is a device that integrates one or several laboratory functions on a single integrated circuit of only millimeters to a few square centimeters to achieve automation and high-throughput screening.\" via Wikipedia

LabFromAChip: common questions

What microcontroller does the LabFromAChip use?

The LabFromAChip is built around the Raspberry_Pi_2_3_0, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the LabFromAChip PCB?

The LabFromAChip measures 132.1 × 66.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the LabFromAChip?

15 components, from 6 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the LabFromAChip design files?

From the cheapjack/LabFromAChip repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the LabFromAChip design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with cheapjack. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the LabFromAChip without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
