Re: How much would it cost to build my own lab?

I'm interested in building a lab to house biochemistry experiments. I'm not sure exactly what experiments I'll be doing but I have a good understanding of biochemistry and genetics since I have a degree in the subject so knowledge-wise, I should be OK. I'll need a PCR machine, centrifuge, spectrophotometer, etc. Raw materials will also be needed and replenished at regular intervals.

What price range am I looking at here? Anyone else do research as a hobby here?

I used to do the ol' PCR back in the day. I ~was~ blown away at the cost of enzymes, etc.

I suggest though we are playing with the code of life and forces beyond our control.

I do NOT recommend you proceed.
