Iqela labantu abazichaza ngokwabo "i-anarchist biohackers" lenze i-lab reactor enokuthi yenziwe ngabantu ekhaya ngeziqwenga eziprintiweyo ze-3D kunye neendawo ezingaphandle kweshelufu, ezinokuthi zincede abantu ukuba badibanise amayeza abo.
I- Four Thieves Vinegar Collective yasekwa nguprofesa wezibalo uMichael Laufer ngo-2015, kwiqonga lokuqinisekisa ukuba abantu banokufikelela kumayeza ngendlela engabizi kakhulu.
Iphakame kakhulu ngo-2016, xa ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kwi-EpiPen kwaphefumlela iqela ukuba lenze izicwangciso ze-autoinjector eyenziwe ekhaya ebizwa ngokuba yi "EpiPencil." I-EpiPencil ingenziwa i-$ 30, kwaye iphinde ilayishe i-$ 3, ngokuchasene ne-$ 600 ye-brand-name version.
Ekugqibeleni, injongo yeqela kukuqinisekisa ukuba abantu banezixhobo abazidingayo ukuze benze ukhetho lwabo lwezonyango. “Ukulandela isayensi lilungelo lomntu,” uLaufer uxelele iMotherboard ngoJulayi. “Enyanisweni, lilungelo lomntu apho onke amanye amalungelo avela khona. Kufuneka ukwazi ukwenza nantoni na oyifunayo emzimbeni wakho kwaye ucinge ngendlela oyifunayo.”
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, iqela liphuhlise uyilo lwelebhu encinci yereactor, leyo imele ukulinganisa izixhobo ezikhulu kakhulu nezixabisa kakhulu. I-Apothecary MicroLab, njengoko imbumba ibiza, yenziwe kwizinto ezingaphandle kwe-shelf kunye ne-3D-printed parts.
Igumbi lokuphendula liqulathe ingqayi encinci ye-mason ngaphakathi kwingqayi enkulu ye-mason, enesiciko esikhethekileyo esiprintiweyo se-3D esivumela imathiriyeli ukuba ihambe phakathi kweengqayi ezimbini. Ezinye iindawo eziprintiweyo ze-3D ziquka i-stepper motor, impompo yesirinji, kunye ne-coupler kunye ne-shaft shredder edityaniswe nemibhobho yeplastiki. Ukuseta okupheleleyo kunokuzenzekela kwikhompyuter.
I-MicroLab esebenzayo inokudibanisa amayeza ukusuka kwizandulela zeekhemikhali ezingabizi kakhulu. Ngokwendibanisela, iye yadibanisa amayeza amahlanu ahlukeneyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku: iNaloxone (esetyenziselwa ukuthintela ukugqithiswa kwe-opiate), iDaraprim (inyanga usulelo kubantu abane-HIV), iCabotegravir (iyeza lothintelo le-HIV), kunye ne-mifepristone kunye ne-misoprostol (esetyenziselwa ukunceda ukunyanzela abantu abane-HIV). ukuqhomfa ngamayeza).
Iqela lifake enye “yeendlela zokupheka” kwiwebhusayithi yalo, kodwa alikabeki imiyalelo yamanye amayeza amane; isaqhuba uvavanyo oluninzi ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwabo.
Nangona ivakala intsha, eli ayiloxesha lokuqala umntu eshicilela i-3D i-chemical reactor. NgoJanuwari 2018, uLee Cronin kunye neqela lakhe kwiYunivesithi yaseGlasgow baphume nophando oluchaza indlela abashicilela ngayo i-3D i-modular chemical reactor ekwaziyo ukwenza ii-multistep reactions.
I-reactor yayinokwenziwa ngokwezifiso, njengoko abaphandi baphuhlisa "ilayibrari" yeengxenye ezinokudityaniswa ukwenza iimodyuli. Iqela liprinte iimodyuli ngaphandle kwe-polypropylene, njengoko i-3D iprinteka kwaye ayisebenzi kunye ne-organic chemical reaction. Ukusebenzisa iimodyuli, iqela lakwazi ukuvelisa i-baclofen, i-muscle relaxant.
“Injongo kukwenza imolekyuli enolwazi oluncinci kakhulu ngokulandela nje incwadi yemiyalelo,” uCronin uxelele iChemical and Engineering News ngoJanuwari. “Wakuba uyifakile inkqubo yokwenza i-synthesis kwidijithali, inokuvuselelwa ngonaphakade. Besifuna ukuza nendlela yokuqinisekisa ukuba xa ubeka iikhemikhali kwinkqubo ye-reactor ziya kusebenza ngendlela efanayo ngalo lonke ixesha, zikunika inkqubo yokusabela enzima ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka.”
