Homebrew your Test Kit reagents

There is a lack of COVID19 RT-PCR reagents and they are expensive. We'll use large capacity brewing capabilities to home produce proteins.

The printing press democratized books, allowing for the reduction in cost and widespread distribution of books. This made literature accessible to more people by reducing the cost barrier of reading, making reading possible to more people. The impact the printing press made on reading was largely because of scalability - the physical resources and time needed to make a single book were greatly reduced. Now we live in a largely literate world.


Diagnostic testing of viral diseases including COVID19 is not new, and is done using an established laboratory technique (RT-PCR). Books had been written long before the invention of the printing press, but they were expensive. There is a lack of access to RT-PCR reagents (proteins) as they are expensive, the same way books were when they were handwritten. We want to live in a world that is largely tested for COVID19.
