This fork focuses on creating a standalone Arduino Lego-based stepper motor syringe system (numpad and LCD 16x2 bit) similar to a traditional syringe pump like an Aladdin AL-3000 pump. This still maintains compatability with NanoJ-Fluidics software. It is currently in beta and glitches are expected.
Note: visit the Wiki or Forum for latest updates.
NanoJ-Fluidics is an open-source device, composed of easily accessible LEGO-parts, electronics and labware. It is designed to automate and simplify fluid exchange experiments in microscopy. Check the paper in Nature Communications: Automating multimodal microscopy with NanoJ-Fluidics.
- LEGO-based, multiplexable and compact syringe pumps
- A simple "hack" to enable liquid exchange on cell culture dishes
- And a comprehensive electronic and software control suite to control the pumps.
This Wiki provides all the information necessary for researchers to reproduce their own systems and start performing fluidic experiments on their microscopes.
NanoJ-Fluidics is developed in a collaboration between the Henriques and Leterrier laboratories.
