Might be familiar to most on this list, but Tekla Labs is doing some
nice facilitation of DIY lab equipment. Recent contest winners
included a micro manipulator for neural recordings; a $10 fan-based
centrifuge; petri dish dividers; and more:

Thanks for sharing this David. I'm a fan of fanfuge. I'd be interested to hear
others thoughts on how this does or does not differ from Public Lab's
approaches to DIY science or what we're calling civic science?

One concern that comes to mind is that these tools make lab science cheaper
rather than commenting or critiquing the overall direction of lab science--the
dream that we might all be genetic engineers?

these innovations are fantastic!  thanks for sharing, David.  Actually,
Sara, I think by developing competing and innovative products in the
waaaay-over-priced biological supply field, they are offering a critique of
the direction of lab science.  =)

The world needs to spend less $$$ on lab supplies.  Some of the traditional
lab suppliers (Carolina Biological, Nalgene, Ward's, Berkshire, etc.) will
be forced to compete when lab techs start buying supplies from these
start-ups.  The economy is driving this too.  Universities are huge
consumers of these products and they are all looking for ways to stretch
their dollar.
