How much does a genetic testing kit cost? Consult the people of the da!

Counting only the equipment for molecular testing (the most basic equipment, not counting consumables, taking into account that prices fluctuate from brand to brand)

PCR instrument: 4-6W;

Gel imager: 8-10W;

Electrophoresis equipment+computer: 1W;

Actually, consumables cost quite a bit of money too. If you're doing southern transgene detection, it's best to use biotin-labeled probes, because the phosphor-scanning screen thing is going to be about 80W, and the isotopes aren't safe.
