Further reflection- this video is a little sketchy. it has subtle flaws that look like red flags
- Nobody who works in a lab would call screw cap tubes 'these little tubes'
- Shows no action from machine
- How is machine supposed to open 'these little tubes'? It can't unscrew them.
- If the operator starts the machine with open screw-cap tubes (usually full of expensive things) how would the operator (or robot) close the tube for the rest of the run? Leaving it open is bad, seems like opening the machine should be bad...
I think if this company actually had a working machine, they'd show it working
edit: glassdoor reviews are insaaaane. if people are willing to leave reviews like that at a company this small, its gotta be worse than they're even describing.
so much promise in the bio space absorbing tech, so much peril when tech tries to bio
- We created this video specifically for the HackerNews community, opting for simple language to cater to a broad audience.
- We are open to filming again to showcase more of the technology.
- The Callisto system doesn't unscrew the caps; users do that before using it.
- Neither the robot nor the operator close the tubes for the remainder of the run. They're left open for the pipettor. The reagents and samples in the tubes are consumed throughout the process.
