On this page01Overview
An open-source design, built for the laboratory.
This build is based on the Pipetting Helper Imaging Lid (PHIL), the personal liquid-handling robot described by Dettinger and colleagues. The published design combines commercial and 3D-printable components with custom control software.[1]
Pipetting hardware and the electronics behind it.
PHIL uses 3D-printed peristaltic pumps for liquid handling and is designed to work alongside live-cell incubation and microscopy.[1]
