Feles, is the revolutionary new desktop bio lab that is leading the biotech revolution by providing anyone a way to know more and experiment with biology, right at the convenience of their homes. The product was recently launched on crowdfunding platform Kickstarter with a goal of $50,000 and received an amazing response, raising over $26,000 in funding, with still about 4 weeks to go till the end date. This remarkable project enables anyone to explore biology from anywhere and anytime.
Feles was first exhibited at iGEM(International genetic engineering machine) where it received great feedback and the initial users, as well as the developers, realized the multiple uses of this innovative bio lab. Some of the use cases of Feles bio lab are to test if the vegetable is GMO, check if your taste buds detect bitter flavors, check if you’re built for endurance, test if you’re likely to be lactose intolerant, test a hamburger for horse meat, investigate your beer for bacteria, extract ancient DNA from fossils, test the gender of birds from a feather or a spot of blood, identify species with DNA bar-coding and so on.
Feles is basically a lab-in-box toolkit designed to enable the general public to explore biology using routine procedures done in professional labs around the lab. It comes with integrated six key lab tools as independent modules that be controlled via modern touch interface and pre-programmed defaults. Using this tool kit, the users can learn molecular biology by hands-on experiments and even invite their friends for doing group projects. As Feles bio lab becomes a global phenomenon, it will contribute towards creating more awareness about biotechnology and allow the communities to see its remarkable applications. In addition, the minimalistic and compact design enables anyone to experiment with new molecular gastronomy and mixology on their kitchen countertop!
Some of the other applications of Feles bio lab are as follows:
- Biofabrication: Design products by harnessing organisms like yeast, bacteria in the consumer goods sector ranging from footwear to furniture and food to fashion.
- Bio-Painting: Paint using natural colors extracted from coral, leaves and other natural sources.
- Educating future generation: Since not all students have access to expensive lab equipment, Feles bio lab can play an important role in helping them to learn biotechnology. The schools and colleges, on the other hand, can turn their normal classrooms into a bio lab using Feles, without having to spend a fortune on expensive and heavy lab equipment that takes up a lot of space. Feles is equipped with six essential tools for molecular biology which the students can use to design their own experiments based on their curriculum requirements.
The backers have a chance to pre-order Feles bio lab at an early bird price, by supporting the Kickstarter campaign.
