Does anyone know where I can purchase an apparatus for repeating the
Miller-Urey experiment, either as a complete unit or as parts which I
could assemple, but hopefully, without the need for any custom glass
blowing. Or, if custom glass blowing is necessary, do you know of a
resonably priced source?

I am also looking for a protocol/set of instructions suitable for a
(bright) high school student.

The experiment is the classic "primordial soup" experiment where various
gases are exposed to an electric discharge, producing amino acids, etc.

Any referrals or sugestions would be appreciated.

Best wishes,
Mike Ugawa
