We’re in the 21st century. 3D printing, excellent digital microscopes, fast control software and mobile computing make it possible to combine precision with affordability. It’s great that Droplet Labs have transformed this important technique into an affordable package. But the team at Droplet Labs haven’t compromised on accuracy. Producing an OK prototype was one thing. The real challenge was to create a package that delivered reliable values, using standard, challenging test cases to compare results to those from well-known high-price devices. Only when components, engineering, assembly and software gave the required precision, accuracy and reliability were they happy to put the device on the market.
