With the reduction of material costs electroncos, many scientific instruments today you can make yourself at low cost.

Some examples of analytical instruments appear in the Journal of Chemical Education . There are also programs of UNESCO for scientific education in developing countries such as the low cost pH meter .
In Asia there are also some interesting developments like this photometer . Or that other in Brazil.

Tom Fisher of Juniata College, founded a company to manufacture instruments of low-cost laboratory . It is possible to manufacture laboratory instruments for a few hundred dollars that are as effective as those that cost thousands. Some devices that are fabricated:
Voltameter, quartz micro balance, spectrophotometer, etc..

The problem is that there is little market, first professional researchers may request a grant and buy expensive tools they need, on the other side for example, schools can not afford the money to purchase instruments costing around $ 100 .
