3D printed microbiology labware

This repository contains designs and 3D printable mesh files for labware suitable for microbiology laboratory research. These were published in 2021 "Methods for rapid prototyping novel labware: using CAD and desktop 3D printing in the microbiology laboratory" in Letters in Applied Microbiology with DOI: 10.1111/lam.13615 https://doi.org/10.1111/lam.13615 There are two folders containing open source licensed files: design files for editing using openscad CAD software (www.openscad.org) with file type .scad 3-dimensional mesh files that can be used to 3D print parts Summary overview of designs, files and stl file downloads to be found in this repository. Frame dip slide: a simple frame to create multi-agar dip-slides that can be dipped into 50mL tubes Multi-channel rectangle dish: A solid medium (e.g. agar) culture dish with multiple chambers to simplify replica plating on multiple agar types Lid of rectangle dish: Simple lid to prevent evaporation for multi-agar dish above Round pin replicator: Pin design for making a pin replicator can deposit bacterial samples from 96-well plate onto a round petri dish Holder for pin replicator: This holder is where the pins above fit Loop: This design is for 3D printed inoculation loops Row column 48-pin replicator: this is another pin replicator design to transfer bacterial samples in a grid onto square petri dishe
