Microlab
Project Overview
| Status | Current release is v1.0 as of Fall 2025. Core features are largely complete and development continues. Real-world recipes are in development. |
| Getting Involved | – Make your own (requires basic tech savvy) – Develop the Microlab (requires electronics, software, CAD, documentation, or translation skills) – Develop recipes (requires a replication and chemistry skills) |
| Cost | $300 – $500 depending on desired features, your skills, and implementation decisions. See the parts list for more details. |
| What to expect | After ordering parts and assembling the contraption, you will have a small, functional (if rudimentary), controlled lab reactor (CLR). For more about this, check out our documentation. |
An open source jacketed lab reactor made from off-the-shelf components you can buy online.
