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

Hi Andrey,

Thank you very much for your message. :-)

I didn't know the work of those companies that you mentioned.

Just a suggestion. Have you considered offering this type of service to schools?

Students could conduct educational experiments in chemistry, physics and biology in remote laboratories.

And the school would pay for access to the service.

It would not be the a virtual environment of a simulator.

But a real environment, subject to all variables (and complexity) of the real world, but only with remote access.

Best Regards,

Markos

Hey, all!

I am thinking about bio cloud laboratory[1] targeted on the do-it-yourself bio community, a bit naive, but anyway I am curious what you think about it.
I would appreciate it if you share with me your concerns.

Also, I have prepared some questions, which might help me orient the idea in a proper direction. Pick one if you have a good mood :)

1. What is the biggest risk why it will not work from your point of view?
2. What is the biggest frustration/problem you have in DIY bio? Why it is a problem?
3. Is hands-on experience is essential for you, or you are more motivated by seeing the end result?
4. Have you been in a situation when you didn't have the required equipment/reagents and weren't able to buy it? Which one?
5. What were the first one/two experiments you did?
6. (optional) How much do you spend on DIY per year? Sorry for such a personal question, I am asking because such a project might require heavy investments, and I somehow need to calculate the market and stuff.

[1] 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. I tried to get access to their user interface, but they haven't replied : (

Thank you, and have a good day/night!

P.S. I am literally the first day here, so my apology if that was already discussed, or I violated some community rule.
