qPCR machines:

  • $300 PCR machine from Dr Brian Kim's group in South Flordia: Unclear if possible to change PCR temperatures. Requires a large amount of reagents (20ul) and 20ul mineral oil instead of a heated lid. Only 1 sample at a time. Matlab might be required to initialize results.
  • open PCR machine was bought by Chai; it is no longer commercially made [1]. This website does have the maker instructions for it.
  • Chai makes an open qPCR machine [2]. $4,300 for one channel, $6,000 for dual channel. open source code open source construction
  • Biomeme has a pre-shipment travel qPCR machine with 3 channels. $9,950. [3]
