Tissue Culture

So, if you're tempted by the Athena Tissue Culture Kit that sells for around $2,000 I would strongly suggest that you consider just buying the stuff separately. From what I've read, you really don't want to work with a mini-laminar flow hood - you'll want one 4' long or longer if you have the room. Additionally, you'll want a real autoclave. I've been poking around the Internet and it seems you can find the hoods for under 1k used. You should be able to put together the rest of the kit on your own for less than 1k with an actual full-sized autoclave. As I find sites with good pricing I'll post them here.
 
My first batch of Tissue Culture was unsuccessful. The amount of time it took me to make the medium is somewhat daunting and has slowed down my progress. I decided to go with some training wheels and try the Athena premixed medium to save some time and to reduce newbie errors. I should have something new to post in a few days.

I just want to say how impressed I am by your determination and resilience. Tackling something technical as you know can be incredibly challenging, and the fact that you're not giving up speaks volumes about your character and perseverance.

Every attempt, whether it leads to success or not, is a step forward. Even though this time didn't go as planned, you've gained invaluable experience that will make you stronger and more prepared for the next round. Failure isn't a roadblock; it's a stepping stone that gets you closer to mastering your craft.

Some of the greatest achievements come after multiple failed attempts. What you're doing now—staying in the game, learning from setbacks—is exactly what will make the final victory that much sweeter.

Keep up the great work brother
