It sounds interesting, but it really feels like they are downplaying the risks here.

I'd be hesitant to put anything mixed in a DIY device with off the shelf peristaltic pumps into my body without some additional analysis.

If something like automated analysis was a possibility, then maybe this would be more alluring.

Yep: as someone with a chemistry background, synthesis is the easy part.

Purification and analysis? That's the hard part.

Not getting screwed by additives, coatings or contamination? Thats what the big bucks in lab gear cost (i.e. a metered dispensing pump comes with a list of every element which touches the dispensed fluid).

Mixael was a physicist. A chemnarchist’s easiest hard problem is probably going to be an xray scope for tha masses

But, I hear FCC is orders of magnitude more effective, eg, so maybe a portable massspec is where its going to be?
