...Thanks Hackaday, it was fun!

Not 100% sure what to do next with the project now.

Does anyone actually want to build a PCR machine (besides me :) ?

Do people out there want them as a kit? A finished product? Or just well documented and left on Github?

It would be pretty easy to get some PCB's made up and put up on Tindie or somewhere. Let me know if you would be interested!

Thanks guys, but it's not a huge breakthrough as far as PCR technology goes. Any low-end PCR machine can do more, and replicate much longer lengths of DNA. No University would be interested in a (very) cheap but fiddly and limited PCR machine.

Its only benefit is that is almost ridiculously cheap; cheap enough for high school classrooms, or for you guys to try out PCR (for less than the cost of a burger, fries and a coke).

Are you sure? yes | no

I'm not into biohacking either, but I want to see the calcium sensor thing working. And you seem to have broken the world record (by a large margin) for length of DNA replicated; you can't just give up after that!

I'm not into bio hacking myself, but it would be cool to see it being used in schools and universities and a shame if it were rotting on github. You should contact some bio hackers on other platforms, bio hackerspaces and teachers if they would like to test it, try it and/or verify it.

Are you sure? yes | no

It's an awesome project - maybe the DIY BioHacking Labs would be happy to know about it. Ask your local university (if you haven't already)

Are you sure? yes | no

And I'm out...
