The phenotype-o-mat with labeled parts and approximate costs
We've developed a DIY, low-cost, 96-well plate imager called the phenotype-o-mat. This
protocol outlines the steps to assemble it yourself. We cover:
1) 3D-printing components
2) Adding threaded inserts
3) Soldering LEDs
4) Setting up the Arduino Nano Every
5) Connecting the BlackFly camera
6) Running an assay

, While you can 3D-print a few of the components, the rest are commercially available.
Check out the "Materials" tab to see what you'll need before beginning assembly. The
necessary 3D-printing files and code are available in our phenotype-o-mat GitHub repo.
If you have any questions or suggestions about assembly, please feel free to reach out at
ben.braverman@arcadiascience.com or comment on our forthcoming phenotype-o-mat
pub at research.arcadiascience.com.

, MATERIALS
LEDs
Three white LED backlight modules (Large, 45 mm × 86 mm)
Five super bright blue 5 mm LEDs (25 pack)
Five super bright red 5 mm LEDs (25 pack)
Five super bright yellow 5 mm LEDs (25 pack)
Five super bright green 5 mm LEDs (25 pack)
Camera
BFS-U3-16S2M-CS USB camera
12 mm CS mount lens (The one we've linked is part of a kit)
USB-A 3.0 "male" to USB micro B "male" cable (The screw-locking and down-angle
version helps keep the connection secure and removes some tension as the cable pulls
on the camera. We recommend at least 3 m in length to accommodate different
physical setups)
25 mm optical filters (optional)
Hardware
Black PLA filament
Clear PLA filament
T-slotted framing rail (single four-slot rail, black, 20 mm square, solid - 40 cm)
Assorted threaded inserts
M3 thumb screws
Custom LED ring PCB
18 100-ohm resistors
Five 150-ohm resistors
Solder
Copper wire
Colored wire (black, white, green, blue, yellow, and red)
Arduino Nano Every
Heat shrink
Black corrugated plastic (at least 24 x 32 in), 4 mm thick
Black duct tape
Lab tape (optional)
Zip ties
Rubber bands (optional)
Tools
FDM 3D printer
Grippers
