You know, building a gel box is really so damn easy, that the only real
question is how cheap and accessible we can make it.
For example, here's Joseph Elsbernd
<https://cheapassscience.wordpress.com/>'s
$21 gel box:
Cheapass science – How to build a $21 gel
box<http://citizensciencequarterly.com/2011/10/21/cheapass-science-gel-b…
Joseph and I built a gel box from some tupperware and stainless steel wires
at the last Science Hack Day - and then did electrophoresis on some food
dyes with a gel made from food grade agar-agar:

As a quick update, Marc, Craig and I are mostly leading the Open Biotech
Lab charge
but meeting sporadically on Fridays (although shifting more and
more to Sunday's). The one major component we're missing is a gel box for
gel's if anyone would like to help with constructing one, we'd love it,
once we have all of the alpha prototypes we're looking at the possibility
of an open source OS (probably through an arduino) to control the whole set
up (which will be a lot of fun to hack!).
Our aim is to make biotech more affordable for everyone and any and all
welcome to
help us :)
