Design Objectives
Our design was guided by the needs of three user groups:
Simple scientific protocols
Standardized parts
Well characterized and developed system
Standard, easy to use system
Simplified protocols
Modular tool that can be tailored to the application
Modular experiments
Open-source
Open-source
Promote good safety practices
Standardized parts
Resulting in the identification of four core design considerations for our system
STANDARD, MODULAR, SAFE, and USER-FRIENLDY
