Materials List
Affordable and Accessible

Don't worry if the instruments in our video look specialized, you can easily substitute these with common household items, which are both affordable and readily available.

For example, instead of using a laboratory beaker, any kitchen measuring cup will do. Likewise, a clean syringe can serve as an effective alternative to a pipette.

It’s crucial that all items used are impeccably clean and disinfected with alcohol to prevent any contamination.

This ensures that you can conduct your experiments safely and effectively without the need for specialized equipment.

Things you will need.

Colchicine While botanical-grade colchicine is available as a direct-use powder, we opt for the pharmacy-grade colchicine, typically used to treat gout.

This form is more readily accessible and comes in 1mg tablets. It's important to note that either type can be used, but the pharmacy-grade tablets are often easier to find and handle for our purposes.

Pipette You can use a syringe (without the needle) or the dropper of some medicine from the pharmacy.
