How to make a lab at home? Specifically a biological laboratory. What do I need? and the security specifications. It is legal?

a biological laboratory?
>is it legal?
to do what?
look at your own faeces under a microscope?
sure.
>what do i need
money
>>905673
if i want to do mdma?
>>905673
I mean, if you have to ask you clearly have no idea what your doing so don't do it.
Heaving said that (and sounded like a total dyke) what do you actually want to do in the lab?
Is it an analytical lab, a research and test stile.
Owning lab equipment is legal as long as you don't use it for illegal activities.

Ecological lab needs different than a genetics lab needs different than a biochemistry lab needs different than a physiology lab needs different than an etological lab.
You need to specify.

laboratory glassware, loads of flasks, separators for decanting, distilling apparatus, measuring cups, a good digital scale, an alcohol burner, test tubes and lots of them, petri dishes, eppendorfs, loads of different reactives, feeds and chemicals, washing stuff like soap, alcohol etc., flow hood, hepa filters, uvc lights, masks, q-tips, an incubator, a pressure cooker/autoclave, maybe some automatics ...
well... you need to invest in the initial set up quite a lot these days to do anything meaningful
i have done all that and i'm just another bloke with a hobby
>specifically a biological laboratory
>security specifications
>is it legal
are you 14 years old?
there is nothing specific about what you are telling us
what do you mean security specs? for intruders? it depends where you live, how many people know about this, and what you are keeping in there
>Is it legal?
i cant handle this question

since you're vague as fuck I'm going to assume you're trying to make bioweapons in Somalia.
you're probably fine just hope the pirates don't get you. Also importation is going to be a bitch so good luck on the shipping costs.

lay down vinyl flooring, get lots of desks space, put in lots of cabinets, get a chair or stall
sorted it's now a lab without equipment so then go get equipment like glassware, microscope, centrifuges incubators, ect
last step get chemicals if you're doing that stuff or DNA if you're trying to clone people.
depending on what you're doing

>lay down vinyl flooring
run it up the wall continuously as a skirting board too

..its all about the end result, not the aesthetic, anon. Pic related, China fake Viagra lab - bit of blue printer ink into the mix, done.

There are a lot of different disciplines that fall under biology, care to be more specific?
>>905673
Just by the way this is worded, this man is most likely intending to break the law.
Universities dump a lot of glassware, go dumpster diving.
>>905673
>Is it legal?
I don't know anon, why don't you tell us what you are planning to do?
>>905673
Just get the equipment required for the specific experiments that you are doing. Then get lots of deskspace.

I want to grow my own steak
>>907795
you sound like you like meat but your girlfriend is a vegan and she'll dump you if you don't do everything she says
>>907826
I don't think she would have a problem if it was grown in a lab.
>>908130
women like aving things to complain about
if you grew meat in a lab she would have to find something else to complain about
eventually she will complain about you

>a biological laboratory
There's maybe 500 different setups that fall under the term biology. What do you want to do? Grow and analyze cultures? Sequence DNA samples? Optimize planting conditions? Apply standard test batteries to blood samples?
Work surface and floor should drain, mind materials if you want to use corrosive stuff. Your basic glassware, burner, and sink are pretty much ubiquitous. A microscope can be cheap, but a quality camera setup will not be. To sterilize you can use a large pressure cooker. And with arduino control you can rig pretty much any growth environment with documented precise conditions. A negative pressure hood and carbon filter should be simple enough.
Thing is, actual research today takes thousands of test lines with millions of tests. Most are pretty simple, like mixing two drops and recording any change in color, ph, or viscosity. But if you do it by hand it takes years. Large labs are automated and process thousands of samples over night. So what is it you want to do?

And the ceiling. My entire bathroom is covered in tile. It was a bitch to put in, not mentioning cutting all the holes for lights, vents, et cetera, but I took that scene from Daddy Daycare to heart.
Any time a relative comes over with kids, or if I ever have kids, I can just run a garden hose from the utility room to the bathroom hose it all down, and squeegee it into the drain.
Is my bathroom reminiscent of a locker room? Yeah, but that's the price I pay for a sanitary, easy to clean bathroom.

As a chemist, wtf is up with that nonsense distillation setup on the left of this pic?
0/10 bomb in progress from sealed allihn condenser that has its water passage connected to a graham condenser.

>sealed allihn condenser
But anon, it's open from bottom. No Sealed Allah condensers here.
>set-photograph-basement-lab.jpg
Hmm...
>>907795
Good luck with that
>What do I need?
Lay down vinyl flooring. You also need clean air (coal filter!) and a slight overpressure in your room so that the air in it can get out but contaminated air from the outside can't get in. For the "hardware", glassware (universities give their old stuff away on a regular basis), incubators (hard to get), centrifuges (easier to get but quite expensive if you want a good one) and microscopes are a good start. For chemicals, several buffers, muriatic acid, sodium hydroxide, ammonia, acetic acid, distilled water, sodium chloride solution, potassium chloride solution, ammonium chloride solution. Also, I'd recommend getting a UV/vis spectrometer and a PC (can be old af if you run it offline, most calculations are so easy even an old Nokia could do them). If you want to get into biochemistry, I recommend buying stuff for a PCR, it's not that expensive but in labs, it is a daily routine. And don't forget a fridge, some proteins are very sensitive at room temperature.
>and the security specifications.
As long as you're not doing anything illegal, you should be fine.
>It is legal?
What?

Oh, I forgot the most obvious: Micropipettes, agar-agar and an awful lot of petri dishes, duh...

>>905677
What microscope do you recommend for examining feces and semen?
>>911045
The same you use to find your dick.
