The goal of this project is to build a PCR machine as part of the open biolab. The device should be simple enough that people with a basic skillset can build it on their own while being cheap and simple to produce in a 100x to 500x quantity. | The goal of this project is to build a PCR machine as part of the open biolab.

The current target for the entire kit is $ | The current target for the entire kit is $500 (PCR, centrifuge, shaking incubator, gel electrophoresis box, micropipette + chemistry/biology/plastics for 3+ experiments). This may turn out to be too low for the first run, but we're aiming at making this as affordable as possible while maintaining a quality that's good enough for day-to-day citizen science work. | ||
