Vision (DRAFT)

I’m working with a community of researchers, hobbyists and industry partners to build the most powerful, portable automated liquid handling platform to address humanity's most pressing challenges in health, food and the environment.

I’m working open because I believe that these tools are fundamental to our future and that they are too valuable to be under the control of a single entity. I also believe that collaboration and sharing of resources is the most effective way to make this vision a reality.

[SanliFaez]

Cool! I am looking forward to reading your Roadmap.

Hi Ryan, can you maybe explain or give one example of an application of a "portable automated liquid handling platform"? I think it could help others (like me) to better understand the relevance of your project. Good luck with your project!

Hello Ryan, Can you please elaborate on the powerful part of the platform along with a use-case?

[wumbor]

Hi Ryan. I'm also working on open hardware for research so I'm interested in your project. Could you give an example of an application of your hardware project like @julo283 asked. It will help put the project in context.
