Hey everybody.
I have been working hard lately to build a store that provides consumables and materials and equipment to small labs and DIYBio people and it is almost ready to open.
You can check out some of the initial stuff that will be available at http://www.the-odin.com
I probably will not start shipping things till June so know that if you order and pay for anything don't expect to receive it next week.
I am still in the process of purchasing more things and adding more things to the store but I need help and feedback. So I figure before it was really open I would look to this list.

What things do you want to see in the store? (some equipment is coming i.e. refurbished PCR machines, Microcentrifuges they just need to be tested and shit)

Do you think the prices on the website are reasonable? Would you be willing to pay more or rather it be less?

Is there a country that you would like me to find shipping quotes to?

One thing I am having a problem obtaining is gel boxes and power supplies. Both of these I have made myself before for < $5 each but I would not sell them to anyone as they are pieces of shit. Does anyone know where? how? to obtain gel electrophoresis setups(box, tray, power supply) for < $100. Anyone out there know anything about manufacturing? I mean I can find platinum wire for pretty cheap and install it myself if I can just have the boxes.gel trays made and banana plugs installed.

Any other questions.comments?

Also, feel free to email me directly at:
