[DIYbio] Re: Beta Test My Gel Box

Hey! This is supper cool sounding! My lab is not a the molecular-bio phase of purchasing yet (will be in a couple of months though). How long are you going to be offering this?

I am building an extremely crazy cheap gel box, with the goal of being able to sell an adjustable power supply+transluminator+assembled box for $150.  I tested it today and it worked.  Now I am looking for a few people who want to beta test the system.  I want to roll out the first 10 units to beta testers by mid august, and if that goes well I want to have these boxes available all the time.

For $150, here is what you get:

Gel box

100V adjustable power supply

Blue Light Transluminator

I will release a video demo before you send me any money, but you can sign up by giving me your contact info here.

You can learn more about the design and how it stacks up against other boxes by reading this post or this one.  Once the design is finalized, mechanical drawings and schematics will be available for all parts and will probably be licensed CC BY SA or something similar.  I am using this as a litmus test to see if people are interested in other cheap lab equipment.  I hope to drop the barrier to entry into biotech, and you can help by supporting this project.  A lot of people say that, but check out the price comparisons- I let my design, and price speak for itself.
