I don't know, its missing putting your sample in a big grey machine and then getting a number from the big grey machine.
95% of all science work lets be real here
I'd've thought that's typing on a laptop
One of the jobs AI is going to replace
They already make machines to do repetitive pipetting, it's just that humans are cheaper and more widely usable.
Our lab's auto pipetter is broken about 60% of the time, most days we just shut it off and reroute specimens to the workbenches to do it by hand because it's faster than attempting to fix it or call customer service. Maybe once the good-for-nothing customer service repair phone line is replaced by AI it will actually function and be worth the half a million dollars we spent on this stupid machine, lol
I am meaning more than just the piping as AI is starting to observe now too. Read here the other day that an AI is researching new materials unassisted in a lab.
Where is the hand-crank centrifuge?
You do get to wear a cool lab coat though.
i majored in pipetting 💀
