these people have created a diy lab reactor you can synthesise medicines with, but I can’t find how to make it anywhere. can anyone find out, or share from their own knowledge?

EDIT: this is a lab reactor for organic chemistry, not a bioreactor with bacteria

100% agreed, however one of the promising aspects of bioreactors is that once you got a genetically modified organism to produce the compound you want, with a stable marker to select against, then you have a relatively stable production method that doesn't involve that much human error. Which is also why the pharmaceutical industry has been moving to such processes where possible.
