Re: [DIYbio] Re: Requesting your thoughts on a yogurt-based nutraceutical platform

I will talk pricing over with my teammates tomorrow. We're trying to balance time+effort, material costs, and embedded costs with the price. On the one hand, things can't be ridiculously expensive; on the other hand, this isn't a discount store, it's meant to be fundraising for a project that inspires and excites you- we got a lot of work to do, and it ain't cheap!. ATCC will charge $50-60 for the strain, usually at least $50 for a plasmid. and often hundreds of dollars for a plasmid. 

But would like to hear other's opinions- too much? Glowing Plant charged $250 for their maker kit, for a one point reference.

Best,

Rich

$200 for a scoop of yogurt and a plasmid? I thought a plasmid would be more like
$20 and plasmid+stab $50 max.
