Dodson Lab Resources

3D printed equipment

The Dodson Lab offers open-source, 3D-print files for laboratory equipment designed as low-cost alternatives for neuroscience research.

Syringe pump

The syringe drive is designed to be a low-cost device to repeatedly deliver small volumes (~10ul) or to slowly deliver larger volumes. One example use of the pump is to provide liquid rewards in operant behavioural experiments.
