					<description><![CDATA[<p>We are re-inventing laboratory liquid handling with our novel, patent-pending microlitre sensor. Using this sensor we made a self-calibrating, ultra-precise micropipette that is poised to replace all current &#8220;dumb&#8221; devices, in a handheld or a robotic toolhead format. Our goal is make precision microdispensing the standard, not a luxury and de-bottleneck life science research.</p>
