Re: [DIYbio] Remote design and execution of DIY bio experiments

You can look at   https://www.emeraldcloudlab.com/ to see what a cloud lab backed by VC $ will get you as a model.

Hey, all!

I am thinking about bio cloud laboratory targeted on the do-it-yourself bio community, a bit naive, but anyway I am curious what you think about it.

Biology cloud laboratory - is an automated physical laboratory, which has access to it over the browser user interface, where you could design and execute the biological experiment remotely, and receive/see a resulting data over user interface or ask for resulting material to be shipped to your home. Examples include Emerald Cloud Lab, Transcriptic, and others, but as far as I am aware they are targeted on the pharmaceutical market. And when I tried to get access to their user interface they just don't reply : (

I would appreciate if you share with me your concerns, and also I have some prepared questions, chose any of them you like:

1. What is the biggest frustration/problem you have in DIY bio?

2. Why is that a problem?

3. Is hands-on experience is essential for you, or you are more motivated by seeing the end result?

4. (optional) How much do you spend on DIY per year? I am asking because such a cloud lab might require heavy investments, and I somehow need to calculate the market and stuff.

5. Have you been in situation when you didn't have the required equipment and weren't able to buy it? Which one?

6. What were the three 1-3 experiments you did?

7. What is the biggest risk why will not work form your point of view?

Thank you!
