Looks like a incubator for babies - or the perfect clone dome?
Yup, preemie incubator, that's correct. Thing probably cost $20-30K, or more. Being sold on ebay for around $130, who would guess.
I suppose I could (perhaps) do the same with a plastic bucket turned on it's side with holes cut in it, or a sandblaster box, or even an aquarium turned on it's side, but I'm going to look around, and see what fits the bill best, for the price. If I can find something fitting that might be a little more versatile, and serve our functions better. They want a cool $1k, plus $700 in shipping for a proper Anaerobic isolation chamber. (used, cheapest). Having those sealed ports are very nice, especially if I've got some heat, humidity, and/or environmental controls, accurate sensors, ect. It will certainly be well worth a few extra dollars, IMO.
The Space this project takes up is a big one for me also; so if some of that stuff is build into the unit, again, it's a big plus. I need to plan this carefully.
This one is totally ideal; Perfect, actually. But they want $9,500 for it. (used+ shipping) Some of the other stuff will cost as well, but I think getting this part spot on, is going to make a big difference in transplant viability, success rates. Layers of protection is of paramount important with this project, and maintaining strict sterility protocols is key to success. A means to keep all circulating air sterile, not just the surfaces themselves.
It's just like any specialized equipment. Those jaws of life, old heavy gas models can be had for cheap, auctioned from fire departments everywhere, almost giving the stuff away; cause they have the latest and greatest battery powered models now, having no need for it any longer. They don't want to store it, cause that cost money too.
Aside from that, I can create my own grow mediums, and have many of them already in stock here at the house. A few more larger bore test tubes, caps, and stands, should make it a reality. I've already got 2 sterilization lights. I can use the oven as an autoclave for now. The equipment for this looks pretty straight forward, it appears. I don't think it's a heavy lift, as it appears, from a distance.
I've spent many hours/years slaving around these things. Was part of my gig for a long time.
... But I grew it from seed. Actually, gave the last seeds I had of it away just about two years ago. Never checked if the guy ever grew them out, and if he did, what he got... Should probably do that. Gave the same guy my cut of Monster Cookie... IMO, the best Cookie I've smoked... Would love to get it back.
. All looks well Buddy.
