replifactory

Replifactory is a 3D-printed continuous culture device developed for educational and high-throughput applications of experimental evolution.

Autoclavable

The tubing, vials and bottles can be detached and autoclaved as a closed system. This guarantees a sterile environment.

Multiplexed

The 7-vial device shares the same 3 or 4 pumps for all independent cultures, simplifying cleaning and running replicate experiments.

Simple

Graphical user interface for basic experiments; python package with examples available for advanced or custom experiments.

Affordable

Multiplexing and 3d printing reduce device cost. Easy cleaning and automation reduce human labor for running experiments.
