Show HN: My open-source liquid handler ( biohacking )

Very cool project. Some future features you may want to think about:

-If you add imaging it could be used for high-throughput crystallography.

-If you can control position of the pipette and flow speed of the liquid, it could be used for cell culture. Sterilizing it would be tricky though.

-If you add multiple liquids it could be used for immunocytochemistry.

1)I've always been of the assumption that imaging is rather difficult 2)Currently the pipettes are stationary and the plate moves .. and the flow speed absolutely already built in :D 3) multiple liquids = id love to see a modular bolt on pump ( HMMMM )

2.) Maybe he meant you could spread the solute over an agar flat plate?
