Over the past year, we’ve had countless conversations with educators across the United States, at conferences and PDs, from large districts and small ones, urban and rural schools. And while their stories vary, one theme keeps coming up again and again:
Budgets are shrinking, and hands-on science equipment is often the first line item to go.
Teachers are being asked to teach with less, to engage their students with outdated equipment or no equipment at all. For many, that means replacing wet labs with videos or paper… a tactic we know is simply not as effective as real, hands-on science.
At MiniOne, we believe that hands-on experimentation isn’t a “nice to have,” it’s essential to learning. Inquiry-based labs enable students to move from memorizing facts to understanding processes and feeling the spark of excitement that transforms them from student scientists into STEM leaders.
That belief is what led us to a big decision:
Until June 30th 2026, we will lower the price of the MiniOne Electrophoresis System from $334 to $199, for US customers.
The MiniOne Electrophoresis System has long been loved by teachers for its compact, classroom-friendly design that engages students with real-time, research-grade results. In reducing its price by over 40%, our goal is simple: to make hands-on electrophoresis accessible to more students in more communities than ever before. Every student deserves the chance to run a gel, analyze results, draw conclusions, and see themselves in those crucial STEM careers: geneticists, forensic scientists, medical researchers, food scientists, and more.
This price reduction is a commitment to educators and students. It’s our way of supporting the incredible teachers who want to bring hands-on learning to their students, and who write grants and appeal to their districts and crowdfund to make it happen.
We’re hopeful that this change will help keep real-world science where it belongs: in every classroom, for every student.
