Title: Improvements? Inventing new equipment
Post by: micro on Nov 1, 2013
Do you know of any apparatus/equipment, technology and/or technique which requires improvement? Or....when in the lab, do you wish that someone invented some equipment which makes your work/life easier? Something automated maybe?

Making competent cells – the centrifugations, the aliquoting, stressing out over sterile technique…it doesn’t get any worse than that!

Something more subjective for me would be racking pipette tips. If you've been in a lab cheap enough to buy loose pipette tips that need to be individually inserted into the tip boxes before autoclaving, you know what I mean.
