Hardware

Why do we need Hardware?

Hardware is best described as any physical component of a computer system that contains a circuit board, ICs, or other electronics. A perfect example of hardware is the screen on which you are viewing this page. Whether it be a computer monitor, tablet or smartphone; it's hardware.

Hardware Requirments

The hardware is composed of electrodes, power generator, redox responsive agar plates and other components designed and assembled in our wet lab. The software is written in silico using DNA as programming language. These parts of DNA designed using computer programs such as Benchling and SnapGene are assembled in the wet lab using standardised protocols and components.
