		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, some bright students at Texas A&#38;M improved upon the most basic tool for manipulating microbiology: a thermocycler.   Thermocyclers are typically large tabletop instruments which require a large sample, a lot of electrical power, and a lot of time to heat and cool.  Alternatively, the process can be done by hand with [...]]]></description>

I am developing a module for communication with biology robotics, as discussed recently on #bioperl, and I invite your comments.  Currently this module talks to a Tecan genesis workstation robot.  Other vendors are Beckman Biomek, Agilent, etc.  No such modules exist anywhere on the &#8216;net with the exception of [...]]]></description>

What are RPM, RCF, and g force and how do I convert between them?
The magnitude of the radial force generated in a centrifuge is expressed relative to the earth&#8217;s gravitational force (g force) and known as the RCF (relative centrifugal field).  RCF values [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently ran across this published paper.  Most skunkwork types seem to buy used equipment via ebay.    This article explains how to build a spectrophotometer with schematics, illustrations, and photos.  The circuit is simple:  a photoresistor, op amp, and some mechanics for the optics.

The article even includes a Bill of Materials  (component price list); for [...]]]></description>
