Tools for iGEM and DIYbio

Do you dream of engineering biofuels and exploring your genome? So do we.

Our generation will go where no one else has gone before, and keep going.

And we need new tools for our work, not square pegs cut to fit round holes. At Pearl Biotech, we make bioengineering accessible by designing cool, smart equipment for the modern genetic explorer.

We are inspired by open access projects such as OpenWetWare and open hardware projects like the Arduino . In fact, the original discussions for the Open Gel Box project began on OpenWetWare and final design documents are hosted there. And our next project, the Open Thermal Cycler, is being prototyped with Arduino at its core. So, if you’re in industry, acadmia, or a community lab, check us out!

Pearl Biotech is located in sunny Sacramento, California.
