Open Source Reagents Question from GOGEC 25 Team

Hello Everyone!

This is Mohammad Ali Khan, leader of the BMI GOGEC Team. I’m new here, but this seems to be quite a lively and interesting forum, and I am really anazed by all the work you guys are doing here!

We competed in GOGEC as a proposal team, and as such we are currently looking for ways to minimize equipment costs during our experiments so that we can present our work at the iGEM Grand Jamboree. I was wondering if any of you could direct me to resources that could help us create DIY build plans for the following equipment:

  1. Electroporater

  2. Confocal Microscope

  3. Spectrophotometer

  4. Shaking Incubator

  5. Centrifuge

  6. Thermal Cycler

Additionally, we would be greatly indebted to you if you would let us know what open-source reagents we can procure or what wholesalers will offer them at lower prices in Pakistan. For reference, our equipment list can be found in the Google document below:

Thank you all for your help!
