The '''''Open-Source Lab: How to Build Your Own Hardware and Reduce Research Costs''''' by [[Joshua M. Pearce]] was published by [[Elsevier]] (2014). ISBN 9780124104624
The academic book is a guide, which details the development of [[free and open-source hardware]] primarily for [[scientists]] and university [[Faculty (academic staff)|faculty]].<ref>[http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/book-of-the-day-how-to-build-your-own-hardware-and-reduce-research-costs/2013/12/28] P2P Foundation 12/28/2013</ref> It provides step-by-step instructions on building [[laboratory hardware]] and [[scientific instruments]]. It also provides instructions on [[digital design sharing]], [[Arduino]] microcontrollers, [[RepRap]] [[3D Printers]] for scientific use and how to use [[open-source hardware]] licenses. ''[[The Guardian]]'' discusses how ideas in the ''Open Source Lab'' could enable 3D printing to offer [[developing world]] scientists savings on replica lab kits.<ref>[http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/feb/21/3d-printing-offer-developing-savings-replica-kit 3D printing could offer developing world savings on replica lab kit] - ''The Guardian'', Friday 21 February 2014 01.59 EST</ref> The Open Source Lab book has been covered extensively by the media.<ref>[http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2013/11/18/mtu-prof-writes-3d-printing-guide-for-scientists-on-a-budget/ MTU Prof Writes 3D Printing Guide For Scientists On A Budget] - CBS 11-18-2013</ref><ref>[http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/11/131118102245.htm DIY and Save: A Scientist's Guide to Making Your Own Lab Equipment] - Science Daily 11-13-2013</ref><ref>[http://powerelectronics.com/blog/book-covers-diy-open-source-hardware-science-projects Book Covers DIY Open-Source Hardware for Science Projects ] - Power Electronics</ref><ref>[http://www.3ders.org/articles/20131118-mtu-prof-writes-3d-printing-guide-to-making-your-own-low-cost-lab-equipment.html MTU Prof writes 3D printing guide to making your own low-cost lab equipment] - 3Drs</ref><ref>[http://machinedesign.com/blog/how-build-lab-equipment-open-source-hardware How to build lab equipment with open-source hardware] - Machine Design</ref><ref>[http://www.nanowerk.com/news2/gadget/newsid=33287.php 3D printing can reduce science lab equipment costs by 90%] - Nanowerk</ref><ref>

== Claims ==
The author, [[Joshua Pearce]], claims the method enables researchers in every discipline to develop research tools at low costs following his previous research in open source hardware published in ''[[Science (journal)|Science]]''.<ref>Pearce, Joshua M. 2012. “[http://www.sciencemag.org/content/337/6100/1303.summary Building Research Equipment with Free, Open-Source Hardware.]” ''Science'' '''337''' (6100): 1303–1304.</ref><ref>[http://www.labmanager.com/news/2013/11/how-scientists-can-cut-costs-by-making-their-own-lab-equipment How Scientists Can Cut Costs by Making Their Own Lab Equipment] - Lab Manager - November 19, 2013</ref> These claims have been generally supported by others using the techniques, such as those in the in [[DIY Bio]] community <ref>[http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/38546/title/Opinion--Science-Counterculture/ Science Counterculture: On taking DIYbio to the next level] - The Scientist - December 9, 2013</ref> While discussing the book in an interview with ''3-D Printing Industry'', Pearce has claimed to save thousands in his own lab.<ref>
==Uptake==
Copies of ''Open-Source Lab'' were a prize in an [[Instructables]] "Build My Lab" Contest sponsored by [[Tekla Labs]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.instructables.com/contest/buildmylab/?show=PRIZES|title=Build My Lab Contest|work=Instructables.com}}</ref>
Examples of open source labs and labs dedicated to producing [[open source hardware]] meant for scientific studies and analysis are now prolific as numerous research groups and non-profits have begun to [[open source]] lab equipment:

* Open Source Physiology Lab <ref>
* Open Lab Tools <ref>
* Open Neuroscience <ref>
* Backyard Brains micromanipulator <ref>{{cite
* [[Sensorica]] <ref>
