This year the iGEM-E team from UCL are building low-cost and user-friendly lab equipment for synthetic biologists.


Synthetic Biology will redefine our command over and responsibility for nature. We believe it must be open, responsible and citizen-led. This is why we have built upon open-source technologies to create "Darwin's Toolbox", a laboratory in a case for the synthetic biologist.

Darwin's Toolbox combines gravity, electricity and heat in a beautiful, mobile X by X inch case offering the amateur or experienced scientist access to a centrifuge, a PCR machine and a gel electrophoresis unit inclusive with transillumination. We have not just equipped Darwin's Toolbox to be useful for the most important biotechnology procedures, but we have designed it to be used with ease and enjoyment. Darwin's Toolbox connects effortlessly to a laptop or tablet computer and helps keep track of your experiment records and share and discuss them with friends and collaborators online.

Imagine what Darwin himself would have achieved with our Toolbox. Imagine what you will do.
