How hard is it to get started doing stuff like this? Do you need thousands of dollars of lab equipment or is the entry barrier relatively low? Making your own bioluminescent genetically modified organisms sounds really neat
- subroutine 7y agoYou need a set of pipettes, a thermal cycler (i.e. https://www.ebay.com/b/PCR-Thermal-Cyclers/185231/bn_115383501 https://www.ebay.com/b/PCR-Thermal-Cyclers/185231/bn_1153835... ), some consumables (i.e. pipette tips, vials, gels), reaction reagents (listed by the top level comment), a centrifuge, and probably some other things I'm forgetting. For some reactions you are much better off using a quantitative PCR machine but those are quite expensive.
