Hi Chana how are you, are you looking for testing equipment or lab equipment for micropropagation, if micropropagation, a Laminar flow hood would be a great benefit in cutting your explants, a autoclave would be very useful but you can get away with a good pressure cooker, if you so preferred a glove box could be used instead of a laminar flow hood for a small portable sterile area. A assortment of beakers would be nice to mix your hormones and prepare your agar for sterilization and a collection of baby bottles for your explants is required, a handheld microscope with 200 - 400 x will get you to a cellular level, there are a few nice sites for new and refurbished lab equipment with Lab X scientific marketplace being a good one, hope this helps.

How are you my friend?
You are the man I was looking for... I am not sure you had a chance to read the thread a bit but some of the other cultivators were discussing viruses in Cannabis and if one can isolate a virus and cure a particular genotype by taking new cuttings of an infected plant or taking molecular culture of same and being able to by-pass or skip the virus by utilizing a fresher more vigorous copy.
Can you comment with regard to some of your work you have done on the micropropagation front. Also what viruses if any, you have encountered and if in fact you were able to isolate a plant, make a copy of it and not have that virus carry over to the new copy.
Blu, I was not referring to micro propagation equipment but the gas chromatograph and/or a spectral machine.
I am interested in using the equipment with regard to my herbarium project but I noticed that the equipment would also be able to help with regard to identifying viruses in plants and re-testing with the equipment once a treatment has been tried.
Thanks for stopping in my friend and it was nice to meet you in person the other day.
Take care,
Chana
