“…Currently, widespread application of molecular biology techniques in research, development of diagnostics, and education is costly and often unaffordable for many laboratories and schools especially in resource poor countries. In addition to investments in equipment, the costs of consumable protein and enzyme reagents is a major roadblock to wider dissemination and use of molecular techniques [ 15 , 16 ]. By demonstrating the feasibility of using cellular reagents in lieu of pure enzymes for routine applications, such as nucleic acid synthesis, Gibson assembly of DNA, and nucleic acid diagnostics, such as TaqMan qPCR and LAMP, we have created a relatively inexpensive reagent toolbox.…”

“…As a result, the affordability and accessibility of protein reagents can be significantly limited, especially in resource poor or remote settings [ 15 , 16 ]. Conversely, simplification of the production, transportation, and storage of these enzymes and proteins would potentially reduce the cost, time, expertise, and infrastructure needed for application and thereby increase accessibility.…”

“…Si bien varios métodos básicos están disponibles como sistemas de kits para asegurar la robustez y para justificar la compatibilidad con las plataformas de hardware existentes en el mercado, se ha demostrado que los resultados en las pruebas de control de calidad de los laboratorios familiarizados con materiales desechables y equipos conocidos como "black box" o "cajas negras" resultan muchas veces significativamente peores que en los laboratorios que ajustan sus métodos siguiendo una (2) literatura primaria . Las técnicas "in house" deben ser consideradas, por los elevados costos de los kits comerciales, principalmente en países en vías de desarrollo.…”
