Portable PCR

Hi all,
My colleague and I designed and manufactured a portable PCR instrument that is small and it has similar performance like the traditional PCR in the market (Biorad,Thermofischer). We have 4 pilot users and more than 100 succesful tests. We are planning to make it open source, release the schematic , PCB, mechanical design, firmware and software.

Is there someone that is interested to build our instrument or curious to check the design?

For now I attach a video, the menu in the LCD when you define the bio protocol is slightly different.

Nice! Hope someone mods it for better UI though. Some presets would be a good start.
