THE MACGYVER PROJECT: GENOMIC DNA EXTRACTION AND GEL ELECTROPHORESIS EXPERIMENTS USING EVERYDAY MATERIALS. Abstract:DNA extraction and separation by agarose gel electrophoresis is a simple and exciting process that anyone can perform.
However, the high cost of specialized equipment and chemicals often hinder such an experiment from being carried by members of the high school community. Here, we describe a cost effective way of extracting and electrophoresing DNA under a prescribed MacGyver limitation – that is using only materials available from a grocery store or shopping mall. In order to carry out this project, we decided to first divide the procedure into three specific sections, each to be addressed individually. Doing this, you find that the following challenges are present. DIYbio:Notebook/Open Gel Box 2.0. Project Description/Abstract The sexiest gel box Your LEDs are showing!
(all 64 of them) Gel electrophoresis is one of the most basic and commonly used tools for molecular biology. However, the gel electrophoresis chambers available on the market often lack essential features that would make this daily routine more pleasant. Visualizing gel bands is also essential, either with a blue transilluminator or a UV transilluminator. Next up: Open Thermal Cycler!

The first gun made entirely of 3D-printed parts recently debuted, and despite the best efforts of its creators, it looks pretty stupid.
When your gun looks like something an 8-year-old built out of LEGO bricks, you're not gonna intimidate anyone (except maybe some other poor bastard 8-year-old whose parents bought him Mega Bloks). forbes.com But obviously, aesthetics aren't the point here, right? It doesn't matter that the "Liberator" is stupid-looking, because it's still a deadly weapon available to everyone with a 3D printer, huh? Sure, it looks like a lump of packing filler, but criminals everywhere will soon be brandishing these homemade firearms, running amok in the streets, correct? #6. If the whole point of the Liberator is to make access to guns easier, it's a fairly large oversight that the 3D printer required to print it will set one back $8,000. ForbesWhich is why it looks like a coffee machine. #5. And if you're unlucky, it explodes. . #4. . #3. Look at da widdle death machine! #2. DefDist DEFCAD MEGA PACK v4.2 (Saito)
DefDist Defcad Liberator Printable Gun. DefDist Defcad.org AR-15 Lower Receiver V5. US government seizes 3D-printed gun files, but still shared elsewhere. It didn't take long for the US government to get the designs for a 3D-printed gun taken down from its creator's site.
"Defcad files are being removed from public access at the request of the US Department of Defense Trade Controls," reads a notice on the Defense Distributed site. "Until further notice, the United States government claims control of the information. " It comes only two days after the files for the Liberator pistol were put online.
The 380-calibre Liberator is the first fully-3D-printed firearm developed by Defense Distributed, the infamous, attention-grabbing group led by 25-year-old Cody Wilson. His exploits in developing, tweaking and improving designs for 3D-printed firearms have been followed closely by a media at turns both appalled and impressed by the implications. Welcome to Dangerous Laboratories! The Radioactive Boy Scout. Note: This article is being reprinted here as an example of what NOT to do with radioactive materials.
Please do NOT attempt to recreate any part of these experiments for the following reasons: You will most likely poison yourself and/or others Nobody really needs an unsafe homemade reactor (especially one made of duct tape and foil) If enough people try these dangerous experiments, the government will try to outlaw any sort of legitimate private experiments with radioactivity or possession of any radioactive minerals or materials. What happened when a teenager tried a dangerous experiment in his back yard Tale of the Radioactive Boy Scout. Golf Manor, a subdivision in Commerce Township, Mich., some 25 miles outside of Detroit, is the kind of place where nothing unusual is supposed to happen, where the only thing lurking around the corner is an ice-cream truck. The Radioactive Boy Scout. There is hardly a boy or a girl alive who is not keenly interested in finding out about things.
And that’s exactly what chemistry is: Finding out about things—finding out what things are made of and what changes they undergo. What things? Any thing! DIY Instructables - Share What You Make. DIY inline PH probe and temperature sensor holder. Modkit Micro.
