or
- THE #1 SELLING BACTERIA SCIENCE KIT ON AMAZON (2015): 99.9% perfect orders. 500+ unpaid and unsuppressed reviews from Amazon verified purchases. Lots of science fair competition awards! Professional quality products and services at unbeatable prices! We offer 100% money back guarantee.
- THE SAFEST AGAR PLATES ON AMAZON: Luria Broth(LB) agar plates are used to grow environmental bacteria. By contrast, Tryptic Soy(TS) agar plates are used to grow pathogenic bacteria from clinic patients. TS agar plates will grow blood-born bacteria which are very dangerous in unprotected environments such as home and school. The amplified blood born bacteria could infect other family members, students and teachers. Be aware of the hidden health risk when using TS agar plates!
- BIOTECH QUALITY, FRESH AND READY-TO-USE: Factory-direct fresh 10 Pre-poured sterile LB-agar plates and 10 sterile 6-inch long swabs (in 5 pouches), 2 sterile dilution tubes and 2 transfer pipets. Our plates are manufactured using the biotech GMP standards. Each plate has a fresh and thick layer of agar. Fresh plates promote faster and more bacterial growth as compared to aged stored plates. Re-sealable packaging convenient for re-use.
- FREE SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT E-BOOK: Packed with easy-to-do experiments with clear step-by-step instruction to help you winning science fair competition. Experiments range from testing simple 5 second rule to evaluating the effectiveness of antibacterial agents. Tips and advices are provided to avoid common mistakes.
- PEACE OF MIND: Any question? No worry. You will receive immediate live support with PhD scientists with extensive hands-on experience. A toll-free 800 number is provided. Before you buy or try, check out the vendor to see whether it has a telephone number or a physical address.

That's awesome. If I were to build a personal lab I would need a centrifuge (your Dremelfuge would work, $50?), pipettes ($15), a used thermocycler ($500-700), a mini-prep kit ($90), a freezer ($50), an incubator ($100), and agar plates ($1/plate). Maybe $200 more for various reagents if you're lucky. Restriction enzymes, polymerases, and ligases aren't cheap. So for maybe $1000 you can make a full lab. Obviously most of the price is in the thermocycler. It's basically impossible to do PCR without a thermocycler. In my opinion, you're not biohacking anything unless you're cloning a gene. Transforming bacteria with a commercial plasmid would be like claiming Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V is computer-hacking. If that's your goal then you only need the plasmid, let's say GFP behind a constitutive promoter ($65 at addgene or origene), a competent cell line ($100), your stove top, and a bag of ice.
EDIT: Anyone care to speculate on whether you can ghetto-rig a thermocycler? Maybe you can do it in the kitchen if you're crafty.
