Working in a molecular biology lab
is a lot like cooking
just on a smaller scale.
It involves the precise manipulation of ingredients 
or molecules that are added and mixed to each other
to perform specific recipes known as experiments.
The problem here is that all of that cooking
is usually done by hand
making the task mundane, repetitive
and prone to human error.
Brilliant scientists can’t
fulfill their full potential
when they're acting as
liquid handling robots
which is a huge barrier to innovation.
Automation systems today are highly expensive,
use up large amounts of reagents 
and produce immense amounts of waste.
We are leveraging a technology
called digital microfluidics 
in order to manipulate droplets
on an open array of electrodes
by applying electrical impulses.

We tailored this digital
microfluidic platform
in order to automate pipelines
in the gene editing space. 
In a similar way that Intel
miniaturised the first Eniac room sized computer 
onto a tiny handheld Intel chip
we are miniaturising large, bulky, expensive liquid handling robots
on to a tiny device the size of a credit card.
Essentially with this technology
you can perform all the operations
that you would perform normally
in the macroscale manually
such as mixing, moving,
dispensing and merging droplets.
So this chip can reduce manual labour by tenfold
reduce reagents consumption by a hundredfold 
and all of this at a fraction of the price
of current automation systems.
We are also eliminating the need for plastic consumption.
All of our experiments can be performed on this handheld device 
without the use of pipetting tips,

We have a core vision
of improving the lives
of not only scientists
but ultimately of patients.
But on a higher level we believe that
programming biology
is a paradigm shift
that is going to catalyse
future discoveries
and we are excited to 
be part of that future.
