FAQ | BioBricks Foundation. The BioBricks Foundation (BBF) is a 501(c)(3) public-benefit organization founded in 2006 by scientists and engineers who recognized that synthetic biology had the potential to produce big impacts on people and the planet and who wanted to ensure that this emerging field would serve the public interest. Scientists from Asia, Europe, and the world can work together. Our mission is to ensure that the engineering of biology is conducted in an open and ethical manner to benefit all people and the planet. We envision a world in which scientists and engineers work together using freely available standardized biological parts that are safe, ethical, cost effective and publicly accessible to create solutions to the problems facing humanity.

We envision synthetic biology as a force for good in the world. Young scientists are the key to this field's future successes. Decoding Synthetic Biology on KQED’s “Quest” DremelFuge - A One-Piece Centrifuge for Rotary Tools by cathalgarvey. In the spirit of Open Source Hardware, Dremelfuge is now Open Source Hardware, according to the 0.3 standard found here: freedomdefined.org/OSHW DremelFuge is a printable rotor for centrifuging standard microcentrifuge tubes and miniprep columns. Compared to the cost of a new centrifuge (priced by a fellow Thingiversian at $500 minimum on Froogle), a Dremelfuge is incredibly cheap.

It can be used for DIYbio ( diybio.org ) or for some culinary uses. It requires industry standard 1.5ml/2ml Eppendorf/Microcentrifuge tubes. * Used with a drill at 3000 RPM, the Dremelfuge will deliver over 400g, enough to comfortably spin down Miniprep samples (proven personally). To see some picures of Dremelfuge used to spin down cells, see here: letters.cunningprojects.com/? Quick Video Intro to Dremelfuge: youtube.com/watch? A video of me using Dremelfuge practically in a tent, to extract DNA from a banana: youtube.com/watch? Please let me know if Dremelfuge is of use to you!
