Digital at last: Laboratory work as it should be - mobile, intuitive, without any device boundaries
Experience what modern laboratory work looks like digitally from end to end.
Whether old equipment without an interface, spontaneous observations or handwritten notes - everything becomes part of a seamless digital workflow.
