This is a list of bio-relevant open hardware.

Bioreactor

Gel electrophoresis

Above link is for the box and casting tray. The power supply is here.
Backup archive of this project available on archive.org.
Open design for a nice box and casting tray.
By Tobias Wenzel from University of Cambridge, Cavendish Laboratory
Costs about $90 for the lasercut parts from Ponoko
Unfortunately the parametric feature only works via a proprietary web app that requires an account

Liquid handling robots

Open hardware/software pipetting robot developed and sold by the OpenTrons company. Discontinued but feasible to build.
Above link is for hardware only. Software is available here.
Pipetting robot developed and sold by the OpenTrons company
Software is open source but hardware is not.
Full eagle board and schematic files available but no license specified. Little mechanical documentation. No pipette mechanical designs available.
Above link is for hardware only. Software is here.
Fully open hardware and software. Development is currently in progress.
Updates are being posted to the GOSH forum
Developed by naikymen

Microscopy

High precision electro-mechanical positioning microscope
Webcam microscope for yeast cell counting

PCR

Open hardware/software and can be bought in the GaudiShop for 99 euro
This is probably the most "make it out of scrap you have sitting around" PCR design
The original open PCR machine. Still available to buy for $500

Other

Open designs for many pieces of lab equipment: Microscope, incubator, centrifuge, water bath, scale, hood, etc.
Source available, license unknown. Available for purchase (Jan 2023)
Open hardware/software and can be bought in the GaudiShop
An open hardware design based on the whirligig centrifuge known as the Paperfuge
