La semana pasada estuve en Madrid en el IX Congreso Internacional de Docentes de Ciencia y Tecnología, explicando como hacer biotecnología de bajo coste con equipos de @minipcr.bsky.social y la pocketpcr de GaudiLabs y utilizarlos para proyectos de barcoding de ADN #CienciaCiudadana

When your harvest is on the line, accuracy is non-negotiable. Highly accurate qPCR diagnostics are essential for yield and optimizing your grow. We are removing barriers to entry with the Cannabis qPCR Workstation. An affordable, portable qPCR solution: dx.minipcr.com/on-site-qpcr...

"We didn't want to build a 'unicorn.' We wanted to build a movement." 🧬This blog post reflects on our journey from a Boston basement to the International Space Station. To the backers who believe in us every day: this is for you. This is the #DNARevolution www.minipcr.com/congreso-fut...

We were proud to participate in Congreso Futuro 2026, with our co-founder Sebastian Kraves speaking on the main stage in Santiago de Chile about accessible biotech and its empowered users across many areas of society. Watch our talk 👉 youtu.be/QLcezoX3vxk?...

Huge news! 🚀 The @genesinspace-12 experiment is launching soon on SpX-33 to test phage therapy in space. A big thank you to our incredible student winners and partners at Boeing, NEB, and ISS National Lab for making this possible!

So proud of the 5 amazing teams of high school students we met this week! Many congratulations to all of you!!

The Meselson and Stahl experiment demonstrated in 1958 that DNA replicated semi-conservatively. Meaning, each of the two strands of DNA serves as a template for a new copy to made of the complementary strand. Foundational finding, elegant experimental design.

Grades don’t define you. Growth does.

Fun DNA fact: Five main nucleotide bases are A, G, C, T & U: A - Adenine - 'ADEN' is Greek for "gland", found in pancreas G - Guanine - found in bird GUANO C - Cytosine - calf thymus, but named for CELLs T - Thymine - Also isolated from calf THYMUS. U - Uracil - isolated from URINE crystals.

No lab left behind

Sebastian S. Cocioba@atinygreencell.bsky.social · last yr.

I think every lab should have one as a back up. A day of lost work is way more expensive than a single unit. It definitely saved my skin many many times.

Mine is also always there and ready to go!

My workhorse was occupied so I had to whip out Ye Olde @minipcr.bsky.social which remains an evergreen lifesaver in a pinch. Excellent design that won't die. Thanks, guys!
