[DIYbio] Re: miniPCR is live on kickstarter

Fabulous! Our Biotech community lab plans on going to rural schools in our state (NM) with our workshops. This is what we need! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much.

We are starting a community lab in Los Alamos, New Mexico called Biodidact. Although NM ranks #1 in the number of PhDs and engineers as a percentage of the workforce (because of 2 major national labs), it is still mostly a rural state and we rank 46 out of 50 states in science education. Some kids will never get an opportunity to even consider science and that's what we are trying to change. Your kit will help tremendously in our case.
I have already invested a significant amount of my personal savings to purchase expensive equipment and rent a space. We were starting to network with local engineers to start to build a cheaper and more portable DNA analysis apparatus...you have just provided the answer. I am so excited. Thank you!

We hope to start our workshops this coming Spring so I hope we can get the full system around that time. I see that you are already funded, but I want the full system so I will back the project ASAP.  How much do you think the full system will cost after the campaign ends?...I probably would like to get more than 1 (maybe 2 more) once we have tested the system and are happy with it.

If you want to learn more about our space, please check out our website: biodidact.net.

We also started a small local campaign to help us purchase pipettes for the students. It is going very slow...we are not very good at advertising so we could use a little help.
Here is the link if you would like to share it with your backers and network: https://www.mainstreetcrowd.com/projects/DNA-barcoding-project/

Your feedback will be appreciated too if you have any time.

Thanks again!

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share the link to our kickstarter campaign for our PCR machine. Early birds start at $399!!

miniPCR: A DNA Discovery System for Everyone is now LIVE in Kickstarter! 
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/minipcr/minipcr-a-dna-discovery-system-for-everyone

Likely the best opportunity ever to get started in the world of DNA analysis. 

Please spread the word and pledge!

This project was many years in the making and started at Templaman Automation with the help of many people there. See more info on the kickstarter page.

Thanks for your support!!
