Problem
Micropipettes are the fundamental tool for dispensing microliter amounts of liquid in life science research, yet their design has remained largely unchanged for decades. Current best-in-class micropipettes are expensive and rely on mechanical or analog measurement mechanisms that limit precision and consistency, creating a bottleneck for researchers who depend on accurate liquid handling for reproducible experiments.
Solution
Tiny Tube Bio has invented a low-cost digital sensor that measures microliter volumes with high precision by leveraging advances in electronics fabrication. Using this proprietary sensor, the company has built a fundamentally different kind of micropipette that replaces traditional mechanical measurement with digital accuracy. This first-of-its-kind device is designed to beat current best-in-class micropipettes in both precision and cost, making high-accuracy liquid handling more accessible to laboratories of all sizes. The digital approach enables consistent, repeatable measurements that reduce experimental variability and improve data quality across life science workflows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are life science researchers, laboratory technicians, and biotechnology companies that rely on micropipettes for daily liquid handling in applications such as molecular biology, cell culture, and diagnostic assays.
