“Inside a nondescript office park in Silicon Valley, a robotic arm is running a test. With rapid, precise movements, the arm pipettes colored liquids into wells on a tray. Within a few minutes its work is done: the arm has pipetted the logo forTranscriptic, a fast-growing, Google Ventures-backed robotics startup that could upend the way biologists do their research.”
Why this matters is probably best summed up by Google Ventures partner Blake Byers “It’s a fact that I’ve wasted many hours of my life moving my hand around to transport small volumes of liquid from one tube to another.”
