I agree, but you could could get a few basic experiments going for that much. Much much more if you spent 800, like you would on this kit.

>You didn't mention an autoclave

Good point. The only stuff you would really HAVE to autoclave would be media, and you can use an off the shelf pressure cooker for that.

I think you want to autoclave the glassware, since it comes in contact with the media when you're growing up a culture.
