That's kind of epic that you managed to pull that off in a home setup. How exactly did you manage to run the gel and all? Did you buy a gelbox/agarose/dye etc too?
- ejstronge 6y agoONT have a ‘rapid’ kit that doesn’t require standard DNA lab equipment. 1. https://store.nanoporetech.com/us/sample-prep/rapid-sequencing-kit.html https://store.nanoporetech.com/us/sample-prep/rapid-sequenci...
- vikramkr 6y agoThe linked article in the patent comment talks about running a gel to confirm extraction which is what I was referring to
- z991 6y agoWe used the rapid kit and also a gelbox / agarose.
- vikramkr 6y agoDid you end up buying everything? I'd be curious to know how much it cost overall if you'd be willing to share. While most of my time has been in well stocked academic labs or shared startup lab space, I did spend some time working out of a bio hacker space and I'm always curious how cost efficiently people can wrangle together enough otherwise expensive kit to run an experiment in an odd setup. Did you end up with a lot of extra agarose etc or were you able to resell the leftovers and the used kit? Super cool stuff.
- z991 6y agoIn total it was about $3k. So not cheap, but also not a real lab budget by any means.
- ejstronge 6y agoThanks! I skimmed but noticed that they used the rapid kit - sorry!
