[DIYbio] Re: DIY Clinical Lab [Hello World]

I also agree with Simon, I bought a microscope for about ~$200 with lamp, and 3D stage (very useful when you are doing small things like cells). 
There are bunch of ECG kits and instructions (check sparkfun website).

I am interested in blood and urine analysis. Most people do microfluidics for that, but I like electrophoresis. There is a company that makes devices (capillary electrophoresis) for measuring ions in blood /www.medimate.com. What bugs me with all of these (even with electrophoresis), they all require supplies, test chips, solvents, etc. My guess is that until we make devices that can be run multiple times without supplies, we won't be able to make personal diagnostic medicine (my goal but probably overkill for you).

Hi DIYBio, 

While I have been following the group conversations eagerly, this will be my first post... here goes!

I am a physician-in-training with a strong interest in global health and frugal innovation/reverse innovation. I want to try to start a discussion to gather ideas re low-cost/DIY ideas around clinical lab testing. For instance, this digital microscope can help visualise cells. Other such ideas around being able to do either labs or imaging (eh via this tiny U/S device) are what interest me the most. Can more experienced DIYers help me start collating a list of potentially useful technologies and kits/instructions? 

Cheers!
