Please make our equipment dreams come true! As BOSSLab gets better equipped, you and I can do more science.
BOSSLab = Boston Open Source Science Laboratory
Here's BOSSLab's current wishlist, in a rough format:
item budget notes requisitioner current situation
autoclave 500 must be able to fit 1l bottles standing up, must work
pipettor set 150 per set, 2-20, 20-200, 200-1000
microcentrifuge 75ish tiny plastic one at Sprout.
Laminar Flow Hood if home-made, maybe $1,000 for preparing media (pouring plates) transferring organisms, etc. with light, filter, fan, and bunsen burner/alcohol lamp, and cleanable desk/tabletop. BC
Post-it supply ˜$30 per month AH
4' x 8' foam core project boards x2(?) $20 ea AH

Internet? I don't know the situation AH check!
Subscription to a couple journals? depending on what we get into i.e. Trends in Cell Biology ---> lab library? AH
A couple lab notebooks ~30 ea AH got these
Collection of relevant wetlab protocols use our networks... wishlist: growth media (saltwater + freshwater), nutrient mixes, common buffers etc we could hack them to our standards? AH we have a copy of current protocols in molecular bio, there is also open wetware (OWW) and diffco publishes most of their formulas. Our lab protocols are also in the operations handbook
Portable mini-projector ~$100-160 invaluable for presentations (class etc, but also just impromptu idea sharing) eg --> http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=projector+portable+mini&tag=googhydr-20&index=electronics&hvadid=10843110488&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=100305958219520272&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_3tuxwz6u8e_b AH there is a projector downstairs, and several upstairs in cabinets and such
Lab speakers! ~$40 lets make some pandora stations.. or turn on NPR hehehe AH there were some...we should locate them
