2025-02-212013-04-28https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/42715102I am an independent researcher working on low-cost open-source lab equipment. I run biotechnology workshops and supply affordable equipment in Northern California. Lacking institutional affiliation, I sometimes find it difficult to access literature while developing new products or teaching existing classes. Thanks to Harvard's enlightened open-access policy for this article, I am working on reproducing the results of this article in my own lab. Thanks, Harvard!
