Please spit

Earlier today I signed an order for $50K worth of these things...



OG-500 DNA Tube

Overview

The OG-500 DNA Collection Kit provides an all-in-one system for the collection, stabilization, transportation and purification of DNA from saliva.

The OG-500 format is ideal for customers who require a compact format for collection via the post and those seeking a solution that is compatible with high-throughput processing systems and standard storage racks.

    Cost per kit? These things don't cost more that $0.5 to make. Three super-cheap chemicals + a little plastic, that's all. I suspect the thing is obscenely overpriced.

  3. I can't comment other than to say that our team is working really hard. This is just like a startup -- we have some resources and we're trying to make something happen. If you're a high net worth individual reading this please consider making a donation to this project.

    Regardless of the results, something will be published in 1-3 year time frame. It's publish or perish - and more than ever. And in this case there will be something that's worth learning even if the results are completely negative.

    Steve, if you don't mind: what exactly is your position/status in this project? Or maybe in other words: what is your principal responsibility there? Thanks!
