About Us

Hi! We're Gerrit and Margriet.

We started this online store to make it easier for people to build open-source science hardware. We're a husband-and-wife team working from home, trying to keep the overhead costs down so that we can offer quality open-source lab equipment at a reasonable price.

Building an open-source device can be challenging when you have to order all the parts yourself. Ordering just a couple of nuts and bolts can be expensive when you have to order from different vendors. It's also time-consuming to find each part you need for your build.

We source all the parts and create kits so that you can get building as soon as the package arrives. By reducing the friction we're hoping to see a lot more open-source science hardware out there, making it easier to understand and modify the equipment you use to do amazing science.
