Rapid Prototyping of Biological Tools

This presentation by Charles Fracchia from the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT explores cost-effective digital fabrication methods for liquid handlers, improving accessibility, user-friendliness, and rapid prototyping in biological tool development. Collaboration with Nadya Peek, Will Langford, Emzo de los Santos, and Scott Livingston resulted in a new design integrated with the Human workflow, enabling easy downloading and running of protocols using the Common Protocol Descriptor Language. Addressing the need for Open Data, this innovative approach significantly enhances the process.
