Hi there, I am InstantLife
I have been doing amateur DIYBio for the past few years and I recently decided that my bedroom was just not sufficient for a functioning lab space. So I bought a 10x5 grow tent some cheap shelving units and a metal table along with the parts to make a bigger and better tabletop laminar flow box. I love the space and I am spending every day in there doing whatever I can to further my experiments. All my projects are going way smoother.
The problem here is I am 17 without a drivers license, working car, or job. I am running out of my savings and I want to be able to make my lab even better. I don't have any connections in Vermont and no luck getting donations or free used equipment locally. I sank $1500 into my lab and I was wondering if there was a way to make up for that? Especially so I can buy/build things like a PCR machine or Electroporator
All I can think is use extra space to grow micro greens or gourmet mushrooms and try to sell them to local restaurants.
Anyone else had any luck with turning a small profit from a home lab?
