European Kit Alternatives?
Hello.
I am wanting to get into biohacking and was considering starting with the fluorescent Bacteria kit from the-Odin, but I live in Belgium so the shipping fees are more than the actual kit. Are there any European based alternatives that I could learn with instead?
Thank you very much in advanced.

Follow up. If there aren't any alternatives. Do you think I could get all of the necessary components by themselves for less than 100 or should I just pay the shipping costs?

It will be hard to find something for EU, due to very high regulations. Did you check it is legal for you to import it?
Odin is a small company, you can try contacting them and tell them your problem. They could ship with a cheaper version, very likely without insurance.
Can you post the kit you are looking for? I can post it in a EU centric page.

The specific kit. https://www.the-odin.com/colorbacteria/
I did a quick glance and I think as long as the organics have the USDA organic seal then its fine, but I'm not sure about the e coli, even though it's non-pathogenic.
I'll try contacting Odin.
Thanks.
