“Molecular diagnostics and molecular biology in general are becoming more pervasive every day in a range of applications but are still seen by many as being an arcane science. Many undergraduate science curricula cover only the basics of theoretical components without exposure to laboratory practice, due to perceived cost and complexity of laboratory facilities needed. With this in mind, I recently set out on a quest to see whether a non-specialist, $500 complete molecular biology laboratory was possible.”
Hm. Quite interesting. Sure got me searching on eBay for some stuff. Quite amazing.
