This is a promising approach for histology and molecular biology experiments in particular, and Labrigger hopes they find success.<\/p>\n<p>They make <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zappylab.com\/benchtools\">nice apps<\/a>. Some are more complex, others are very simple and effective, like this one:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/labrigger.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/counter.png\" alt=\"counter\" width=\"564\" height=\"316\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3664\" srcset=\"http:\/\/labrigger.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/counter.png 564w, http:\/\/labrigger.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/counter-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re free, by the way, and they cover iOS, Android, and Amazon. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zappylab.com\/benchtools\">Check them out<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n<p>ZappyLab has <a href=\"http:\/\/anothersb.blogspot.com\/2014\/03\/hello-startup-sequel-to-goodbye-academia.html?m=1\">an interesting backstory<\/a>. There&#8217;s a lot of potential for this effort to take root, but there needs to be support from the community&#8211; that&#8217;s you.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately they want to make money. But they want to make money like Google. That is, while providing free services. The entire repository will remain freely available.<\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: Labrigger composed this post. We&#8217;re intrigued by the project and have intended to put up a post on it for some time. Now&#8217;s a good time. ZappyLab paid to ensure top visibility for the last week of their Kickstarter campaign, but did not provide input into the content of the post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p align=\"center\">\n<p>This is exactly up the alley of what Labrigger is interested in supporting.
