- mbreese 4y agoDoes it still require a pipettor, or could it work with just a transfer pipet? Their field kit should probably be as minimal as it could be. Last I looked into it, it was a minimal set of extra equipment -- votexer, centrifuge, etc... nothing unusual for a bio lab. And even most of that could be handled with a good snap of the wrist, if you weren't trying to be super precise.
- ejstronge 4y agoIf one is patient, the only tool needed in the wet lab is a transfer pipettor and a scale - I think this could be done without a micropipettor
