Oh, your Wi-Fi was slow? 😏
Imagine flipping through 47 tiny drawers just to find one fact… and then realizing it’s filed under something completely random. This was the original search engine, kids. 📚🗂️
Suddenly “buffering” doesn’t feel so tragic, does it?

Experiments in organic chemistry are a mix of knowledge, persistence… and a little bit of (d)uck. 🍀

Every reaction needs a good-luck duck. 🦆

CellDrop has a permanent sample chamber made of two parallel, durable sapphire surfaces. When the cell suspension is loaded into the chamber, the sample is held in place by surface tension.

First, load the sample into the chamber.

Next, adjust focus and exposure, then press the count button to analyze sample.

Finally, wipe the surfaces clean with a lab wipe, and CellDrop is ready for the next measurement!
