Anti-body Swap Shop
Swap shop/auction/sale site for labs stock of antibodies
- Allows biologists to swap aliquots of antibodies with each other, direct. Also allows you to sell things, to recoup costs, make money off your freezer.
- Same thing with restriction enzymes, other expensive reagents, etc...
- Part of Labstr - maybe a part of the for-pay premium subscription?
- Matrigel is expensive, good to sell, with annotation for particular batches - it’s very variable.
- Items have catalogue and sequence numbers, to uniquely identify them. These need to be centrally held in a db, to avoid duplicates.
- Allow people to annotate their items, against central db, link back to their Labstr wiki’s, etc. Value-add product descriptions, allows people to find out how to use something, what works, what doesn’t, and buy some all in the same place. Also helps to integrate AntiBodySwapShop into Labstr.
