Re: [DIYbio] Building DIY bio lab, would like some opinion and help

1:33 AM |

Hi Nathan,

Yes its easy to get equipments here but only if I have that much budget, coz these equipments are costly and as I mentioned earliar, I just have empty room of 1200 sq ft, so i need to get some instruments with very low cost, preferably if someone donates so.

thanks for clearing the doubt about advisory commitee, I have got few people from two organizations, they wants to collaborate with my lab, so that members of this lab will get access to their labs instruments and other facilities. Thats really nice of them, but if members join my lab now n if i guide them towards these institutes lab, will that work ?

It looks like you're in Mumbai, so I think you should be able to get setup and outfitted relatively easily, since Mumbai is a big shipping port.

I would check alibaba.com and aliexpress.com, there are many equipment suppliers there from India. Things like scalpels, tweezers, glassware, bunsen or alcohol burners, spectroscopes (the really old kind, like here: http://www.scitechantiques.com/Spectroscope/images/463PrismSpectrometer.jpg) as well as chemicals and biologics (enzymes and such).

You can also search the DIYBio archives, I have definitely posted some Indian bio chem suppliers before.


As for a committee, it is not required as DIYbio is all about de-centralized science... but it is very useful to have small local organizations to keep things legal and more importantly safe, and also provide mentorship and guidance, help with logistics (ordering supplies, dealing with suppliers or landlords, utility companies, getting advertisments or signs printed, etc...).

Read through these to get started, and keep asking questions! Welcome!!!


Again, Welcome!

I have a space of 1200 sq ft but no instruments, so please tell me how to start with it ? and this concept is very new here, so any opinion or suggestions how to build a community for the same ?
