  I do lab planning for a living and sometimes I like to play “How Many Houses Could This Instrument Buy?” with my coworkers. Usually it’s something along the lines of 0.1 to 1 houses, but every once in a while we do a process development lab for some biotech firm, and they want to spring for one of those Satorious automated bioreactors. Those things cost “a while block’s worth of nice houses in a mid-major metro” money.

    So like $10 million dollars?

    Nowadays this exercise does more to show how absurd housing prices are than it shows about instrument prices.

    You can get almost every piece of lab equipment on Ali. Wether or not you’ll actually get one, or if it does what you want is another matter though.
