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

I think this is still an emerging field with not too many people working in homebrew biohacking.

You can probably find some guidance for basic stuff like Aspirin in bio-chemics text books, but these are not done in a bioreactor.

In general even the industry is still moving to bioreactors and are keeping their methods mostly secret as far as I can tell (not very deep into the stuff to be honest).
