Re: [DIYbio] Re: first, cheap and effective termal cycler PCR at home

It depends to some extent on how "diy" you want to be and what your skill set is... I cobbled together a serviceable thermocycler that can do a half dozen epi tubes from the cooling block from an old HP workstation I had in my attic, a cartridge heater, an arduino w/ thermocouple, and some other electronic bits and pieces I had lying around. Material cost was basically nothing, but for the time I spent tinkering to make it serviceable I could have picked up a consulting gig and made enough money to buy a nice, shiny, new one...
