BREAKTHROUGH SOLUTION: PlatR Pipetting aid:

• it is an aid used in pipetting, one of the main routine processes in laboratory work;
• by using PlatR in their daily routines, researchers save at least 30% of laboratory (chemical and biological) reagents that would otherwise be discarded; those are mostly environmentally harmful and expensive reagents that need to be treated properly when discarded;
• the tool allows for 26.7% faster pipetting;
• the pipetting aid works on the Samsung Galaxy Tablet PC;
• the tool allows for a transition from an old, inefficient system of manual work to a sustainable, green, efficient and reusable system of operation.
