Just curious, is anyone on the list located in Australia or New Zealand?

Cheers

Yeah man I am in Sydney and have just finished setting up my lab. I am running the first PCR tomorrow.

If anyone is keen, they are more than welcome to come along :)

Hey Mackenzie,

DIYbio Auckland just had its first meetup last night[0]. It was quite a good turn out, including some of the developers of Geneious[1]. We haven't got a venue or anything yet of course. Just a few people shaking hands over drinks.

We'll see where things go.

Neato!

I was asking because an Aussie / NZ company distributes a nanodrop-clone (microliter UV/Vis spec) at prices that are rumored to be very cheap.  The machine is the Quawell Q5000.  I was hoping someone one the list in their area could ask for a quote so we could compare with other microliter UV/Vis specs.

Here is the distributor: http://www.diagnostictechnology.com.au/shop/item/q5000-uv-vis-spectrophomtometer/instrumentation-uv-spectrophotometer

Could one of you volunteer to email Diagnostic Technology AU to get a quote?

Thanks!

Mac

Great! We've had a wide interest, from general geeks, PhDs and ex biologists who have been sucked into more corporate lives. Any suggestions for moving these groups from birth to maturity?

I just checked for you mate.

Quawell was $6000-$7000

Maestro one was $5999

Qubit Flourometer (life tech) was $1505 ex gst

[Mackenzie Cowell]

Thanks, Meow-Ludo.

Good info to have on hand.

So the qubit requires mixing the sample with a proprietary dye?  And it costs 1500?  Lame.
